The number of young, talented players in Serie A is constantly increasing.
Many of them had the chance to shine for their mid-table teams and prove they are ready to help some of the top teams in their future title ventures.
Juventus already had the chance to have one of the fast-growing talents Riccardo Orsolini in their squad, but just recently (last summer) waved him goodbye towards Bologna.
During his loan spell, the winger settled well, which secured his place and prompted the club to make a move and sign him permanently.
With 26 games now played, the Italian has proven that Bologna made the right decision to keep him.
Shining brightly in their frontline and being their top goal scorer might make Juventus quite envious of letting him go.
This tactical analysis, in the form of a scout report, aims to break down why Maurizio Sarri should consider adding Orsolini to their squad this summer and how the young player could fit their tactical approach.
Riccardo Orsolini performance
The 22-year-old winger impressed with his performance at Bologna, which led to a deal being reached with Juventus and his permanent signing.
Orsolini met the expectations being the joint top scorer for the team and one of their most consistent performers this season.
His impressive confidence on the ball and cold hard finish resulted in seven goals and four assists in 26 games this term, which only shows how much more he could grow.
What is even more impressive is his ability to cover space.
He doesn’t limit his movement only on the flank but often cuts inside, threatening the opposition’s defences by occupying the half-spaces.
He uses his pace wisely during turnovers but also attempts to win the ball back on his own and attack immediately.
His dribbling abilities support his efficiency on the flank, as he can easily take on his opponents and either cross the ball or drag them out wide, thereby helping his teammates’ movement and exploiting spaces.
His confidence on the ball adds to his performance.
