Diego Simeone wants to sign a new midfielder and Denis Zakaria is one of the names at the top of his wishlist. Simeone is a long term admirer of Zakaria and believes he can get the most out of the Switzerland international.
The 22-year-old would provide a good variety to Atletico Madrid’s midfield.
