The Brazilian full back has joined Sevilla team back after his Copa America tournament. The versatality of Dani was in full show in the final against Argentina when he was introduced as a right midfielder and scored a smashing goal, the finisher 3rd goal.
His club life has also been off to a great start, after Sevilla successfully defended their UEFA cup and also competing for the leaugue honors for the major part and finally finshed 3rd. Though Sevilla have been silent in the transfer market, they still have an amazing squad to compete for the league and the Champions League.
The highly rated Alves has mentioned today that though he is back training with his club, he is waiting for a deal to be finalized for a move. He said " life of a football player is short and so i need to make the best of mine too". The reported suiters are Chelsea who have openly admitted that they are keen admirers of the Brazilian.
Alves like most of his national counterparts like Cafu and Cicinho is very attack minded. To add to that Dani is also a set piece specialist and is good defensively as well. It was interesting to see his defensive skills put to test against Real's home match against Sevilla when he had to defend the flank against Robinho. For most part of the match Dani got the better of his national team mate.
Chelsea would do really well with an addition like Dani Alves. With the possibility of having Alex at Stamford Bridge, Dani would be excited to accept the multi millions from Roman.

Given the freedom Alves gets in Sevilla, do you think Alves will thrive in the english game under Mourinho?
Its a great point you raised and Dani's attacking style may not fit in well with Chelsea's rather conservative backline. It is evident that such players would have more chances and freedom to showcase their skills in a club where they are the superstar. Dani is young and talented and to be recognized at the next level he defintely has to play for a bigger club.
