Jan Vertonghen applauds Benfica's transfer move: top player | OneFootball

Dodi Lukebakio - who has been making headlines for all the right reasons - is an excellent signing by Benfica. This statement comes from Jan Vertonghen, a former player of the club, who highly praises the winger that the Eagles signed from Sevilla at the close of the transfer window.

“He is a great player and a good guy. He has technique and is skillful. Lukebakio is a fantastic player and a modern winger, very fast,” began Jan Vertonghen, speaking to the newspaper Record, describing the winger who joined Benfica from Sevilla at the end of the transfer period.

Jan Vertonghen, who has already retired from professional football, also highlights some of the qualities of the 27-year-old Belgian international: “He is a player who can play in various positions. Even though his left foot is the best, he plays well with his right. He can cross or cut inside and score.”

“He is a great addition to Benfica and I hope he succeeds. I believe he will score many goals and assist Pavlidis and Ivanovic”, concluded Jan Vertonghen, giving high praise to Dodi Lukebakio, who last season scored 11 goals and made two assists in 39 appearances for Sevilla.

Wearing the Benfica jersey in the 2020/21 and 2021/22 seasons, Jan Vertonghen played 88 matches, in which he scored one goal and made two assists. The former footballer won a National Championship with the Clube da Luz, under the guidance of German coach Roger Schmidt.
