Ivan Ricardo Neves Abreu Cavaleiro

Ivan Ricardo Neves Abreu Cavaleiro

Ivan Cavaleiro attacks space from the left, dragging defenders and pulling wide to create room for teammates. Cavaleiro broke through at Benfica in 2013-14, part of a domestic treble. He earned a senior Portugal cap in 2014. Cavaleiro moved to Wolves, scoring and assisting as they rose to the Premier League. He helped Fulham secure promotion via the playoffs. Cavaleiro's pace and crossing keep opposing full-backs honest. He sometimes drifts inside to link play with one-touch layoffs. Ultimately, Cavaleiro finishes moves by attacking the back post.
