The right-back proved to be a fantastic purchase for just under 3 million. Darmian make 152 appearances over the last four years and was voted by fans as the Italian national team's player of the year for 2014. In 2005 Torino went bankrupt yet ten years later they reached the last 16 of the Europa League. Darmian scored the winning goal against Athletic Bilbao to take them through to the last 16 but they were beaten off Andre Villas Boas' Zenit St Petersburg 2-1 on aggregate in the following round.
