Roma's recent golden generation of players has been truly impressive this season. The club have put together of young squad who can lead the club back to glory in Serie A and, possibly even, Europe in the near future. The one spearheading their charge up the Serie A league table is talented midfielder, Nicolo Zaniolo.

The 20-year old Italy international has exceptional stats and will improve whatever squad he's brought into. It's crazy to think that someone who is barely out of their teens has such incredibly high stats for determination (18), work rate (16) and off the ball movement (16). As an attacking midfielder, his passing, vision and first touch could all do with some work, but he's young enough where there's plenty of chances to improve on these aspects of his skillset.

During our test saves, Zaniolo turned out to be a key player for any squad who snapped him up from Roma. However, it was quite noticeable that he did better with teams who employ a high pressing style as it complements some of his best attributes.
