A summer signing from Ajax last year, the all-action centre-half has established himself as a key member of our team in his first season in England and has now been rewarded with a new contract.
Still only 21, the Colombian international looks set to continue his impressive rise to stardom with a place on the plane to next month’s World Cup in Russia.
And he says he’s grateful to his club colleagues for welcoming him in and helping him to settle down so quickly in his new surroundings.
“I’ve enjoyed it so much this season because I have quality team-mates, I have quality staff guiding me and I have a quality training ground to work at,” said the former Atletico Nacional starlet, whose new deal runs until 2024.
