Headlines: Alexander Bah's Wing Defense for Benfica

Alexander Bah, the former Portugal international midfielder, has revealed that he is interested in joining Benfica and helping them achieve success this season.

The 44-year-old midfielder, who played for Benfica from 2015 to 2018, told The Athletic that he was impressed by Benfica's squad and their potential to compete at the highest level.

"I've always been a big fan of Benfica," Bah said. "I've watched some of their games over the years and I can see why they're so successful."

Bah added that his time with the Portuguese club provided him with valuable experience and knowledge, which he believes will be invaluable as he transitions into a new role at Benfica.

"The team that we have today is very strong and it has a lot of potential," Bah said. "It's important to work hard every day and improve my game, because I know that there are challenges ahead."

Benfica boss António Guterres has also expressed interest in hiring Bah, saying that he would like to give him a chance to showcase his skills and help the club achieve its goals.

"I'm looking forward to working with Benfica and helping them win matches," Guterres said. "We have a talented group of players, and I believe that we can do great things together."

As the season unfolds, Bah will need to adapt to life on the left side of the pitch, where he plays alongside several other midfielders such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Jorginho. However, his experience and knowledge will certainly help him become a key player for Benfica next season.
