translate please. :D
Done.

Sassuolo's new winger is already among the best players of Serie B despite playing his first season as a professional, having established himself as an undisputed started for a Sassuolo squad of high tactical and technical levels. At only 18 years old, he is already among the most distinguished players of Serie B with 3 goals and 3 assists in 10 games (now 4 goals and 3 assists in 18 games). A player of optimal physical stature blessed with a good velocity/power balance although being still raw/inexperienced, he is quick, especially in the first 10 meters, and also in possession of the ball. For his club, he playing as a left winger in a classical 4-3-3 but he is also able to play in a more central position in specific situations. At the moment, it is hard imagining him playing in another system as he does not look particularly suitable in either a four men midfield or as a second striker in a front two. A left-footed player possessing a formidable left foot he is very technical, clean in his execution, and blessed with the strength and reflexes of an almost natural striker. He is better at finishing at low speed than at high speed. However, he has also a great right foot, which he is able to use effectively in finishing positions and in switching the ball from one foot to another. At that, he is much more precise and confident than the average player of his position, being almost ambidextrous. He is also a dead-ball specialist even in the positions in which the fact that he is left-footed would normally penalize him. From a technical point of view his range of plays and tricks is already rather complete, which is a quite rare aspect for a youngster playing his first professional fixtures. His approach is not too fancy and he could improve his dribbling but his ball control is excellent, especially his second touch, as is his ability to quickly alternate his play. His most interesting characteristic is his ability to move between the lines; he is good at finding positions to receive through balls and finding space between the fullback and the last midfielder, demonstrating an innate ability to make himself available, which makes him an ideal offensive weapon, even when the opposing formation is very compact due to his extraordinary shooting abilities. In receiving the pass and putting the ball in the back of the net, in finding the right space and moving without the ball, he is probably already the best of Serie B. However, he still needs to mature as he is sometimes reckless in key moments of the game. He demonstrates great ability in finding good positions when his team does not have possession of the ball and he is good at taking on his opponent's fullbacks. This young man is already a second striker probably able to score 15 goals in Serie B, doing as well or better than Stephan El Shaarawy and Lorenzo Insigne at the same age. It is hard to estimate his potential but in the last 6 months, he has astonished everyone. He is definitely amoing the best Italian youngsters and he could very well play soon for the senior national team. Let's bet about it.

Physical attributes: 7/7, Technique: 6/7, Tactical attributes: 5/7, Character, 5/7, Potential: 7/7

I'm very interested in this kid. I hope we land him and see him loaned out to a Serie A club next season so I can see more of him.
Italian left wingers are hard to find, he has generated interest by many top teams scouters.
So if we can secure his contract early, on a very good price, why not, hopefully with Marotta's replacement, we would at least make some profit of him in the future.

But we should rather focus on the starter finisher slot atm

One of the best youngsters in Serie B, I'm very glad we want him. :weee:
Maybe we should think about Salomon. Simone Zaza looks good with 11 goals too.
