EXEQUIEL PALACIOS
Midfielder · Ipswich · Premier League
“A relentless carrier who keeps Argentina moving through pressure.”
GoalPost verdict
GoalPost score (GPS)
GoalPost read
Palacios is a prime deep midfielder whose best recent form came at Bayer Leverkusen, and that keeps his value strong. The case loses some ground because he is not a guaranteed starter and the league level earns a discount.

Analysis overview
E. Palacios is a box-to-box midfielder who stitches phases together by driving forward with the ball and refusing to give it away. He takes the first hard touch, beats pressure with balance and calm, then immediately joins the press when possession turns over. In midfield, he looks like a connector who can carry, secure, and recover in the same sequence.
