Height: 176 cm

Transfer information
Being a fresh signing at Sevilla (signing for the club from Corinthians for an £8M / 11M fee), it is very difficult to lure away Arana during the first summer. Obviously you could be activating his release clause (£38M / €44M), but it will be next to impossible to sign him on during the first summer window. Earliest possibility to sign him will be the January transfer window, but it will take a large offer to lure him away from Sevilla.
Pros
Arana is considered to the most talented player in the Sevilla squad, making him a valuable player if you decide to start a save with the Spanish side. He is probably on his best in a more attacking role on the left-side of the pitch and would be the ideal attacking full-back or complete wing-back. Arana is a typical Brazilian wide defender with loads of pace and enough technical skills and crossing skills to become an extra forward when your team is on the attack.
Cons
As most wide defenders, Arana is not a good header of the ball. When looking at his profile this is one of the attributes that is highlighted by the coaches of Sevilla to improve. However, this should not be an area you should be focusing on for a wide defender. It would be better to concentrate his individual training on the defensive side of his position and role. Train him in Marking or Tackling to improve his defensive stability. His attacking attributes are all 14 or higher and will evolve naturally over the course of his career.
