André Villas-Boas: “Borja is a top player for us” | OneFootball

The Spanish players carry significant weight in the blue-and-white locker room. One of the summer signings was the winger Borja Sainz, who immediately established himself in the team. “Borja caught our attention at Norwich. It was never common for Portuguese clubs to buy from England’s second division or the Premier League. We brought in Kiwior from Arsenal, but normally we can’t compete in the Premier League market. And Borja was playing very well at Norwich. We started approaching Norwich before the Club World Cup. It wasn’t easy and we finally closed the deal after the tournament,” he said, adding: “Borja is a super player for us. He represents FC Porto’s values. He fights for every goal, every ball; he arrives in the box; he occupies space off the ball… He is a great footballer and a good person,” said Villas-Boas.
