Diego Lainez: FM2021 Wonderkid Review
Diego Lainez is one of the best Mexican wonderkids in the game. He is a very pacy winger who has extremely good physical attributes.
In the auto-generated save, he has remained at Real Betis for just 2 seasons before a very successful loan move to Cadiz and then an eventual transfer to Nottingham Forest. After spending 2 seasons at Forest, he has moved to West Brom, albeit in the championship and has performed admirably for the club. He has helped West Brom achieve promotion and establish themselves as a regular in the PL and is currently an important player at the club.
Despite a lack of opportunity at the start of the save and only playing for clubs with a low reputation, Lainez has very good average ratings throughout the save and has contributed plenty of goals and assists over the years. A human manager can definitely bring much more out of the talented Mexican and can be an asset to most squads with his versatility.
