World Soccer – August 2019

(Amelia) #1

(^) FEDERICO CHIESA
(Fiorentina)
One of the best young Italian
strikers around, the 21-year-
old has long looked destined
to leave Fiorentina for a
Champions League club,
perhaps Juventus.
(^) KRZYSZTOF PIATEK
(Milan)
Twenty-two goals in his first
season in Italy – 13 for Genoa
and nine for Milan – was a
sensational start for the 24-
year-old and there may well
be more to come.
(^) JORDAN VERETOUT
(Roma)
Bought from Fiorentina for
a €1m loan fee, with a €16 m
buyout attached, the 26-year-
old Frenchman seems destined
to have a key role in Roma’s
post-De Rossi midfield.
(^) LORENZO PELLEGRINI
(Roma)
In a season when the last of
the great Roma “flagbearers”
has moved on, he will be
expected to step up as the
leader of a potentially
formidable midfield.
(^) GONZALO HIGUAIN
(Juventus)
After miserable half seasons
on loan at Milan and Chelsea,
he has more to prove than
ever. If he were to rediscover
his best form he could prove
to be a good buy for someone.
