Alban Lafont: FM2020 Wonderkid Review
Alban Lafont is one of the best French wonderkid goalkeepers in FM20 and can develop into a leading keeper if you are managing a Ligue 1 side.
He is also adaptable to live in another country and could work well in other leagues. He is also available for a relatively low price at the start of the save.
In the auto generated save Lafont has continued to remain with Fiorentina for a few seasons before permanently moving to Nantes for £3.2m. His stats have not grown much with him stagnating owing to the poor performances of the club.
Still he has given a few man-of -the-match performances and can definitely develop better under a human manager.
