Balliu was first choice right back at Metz last season as they achieved promotion back to Ligue 1. I’m surprised he’s left them at the end of his contract because they have a good project going on and are more settled with Antonetti as Head Coach. He won his place in the team at the end of November and kept his place for most of the season after that with a couple of matches on the bench.
I don’t really know much about his play style. He came though Barcelona’s academy so is probably a forward thinking player but I’m sure playing under Antonetti has made him a better defender. He’ll be a coup for us considering he’d be leaving a newly promoted Ligue 1 team for a Championship side.
