He doesn\u2019t mind putting his foot through the ball when required and is an accurate passer from midfield.<\/p>\n<p>The Spanish talent can chip in by picking up his fair share of assists. However, he needs to add more goals to his game if he wants to be a consistent performer at the highest level.<\/p>\n<p>Casado is primarily a defensive midfielder but can also function as a box-to-box midfielder if asked to do so. However, there are some question marks over whether he can make a smooth transition to life in the <a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/category\/leagues\/english-premier-league\/\">Premier League<\/a>. Still, we can expect him to inject more quality into <a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/category\/leagues\/english-premier-league\/tottenham\/\">Tottenham<\/a> boss Thomas Frank\u2019s midfield.<\/p>\n<p>At 21, Casado has the potential to be a future star in the Premier League.
