This league has great entertainment value. The league is home to many legends who started their careers here and stay here forever. Gone are the traditional beliefs that the league is slow-paced and only suited to older players. Serie A is producing some of the most exciting players in the world.

5. Mikkel Damsgaard (Sampdoria)

Mikel Damsgaard is a Netherlands international who plays as a winger (left winger) for Sampdoria. The 21-year-old has been in the limelight with his impressive performances at Euro 2020. He was the replacement for Christian Eriksen. His performance was instrumental in leading Denmark to the semi-finals. Last season, the winger made just 11 appearances. But he will be looking to change that and maximize his ball-handling abilities.

4. Ivan Ilic (Hellas Verona)

Ivan Ilic is a Serb who plays for Verona in a midfield position. The 21-year-old is considered a very strong player and has excellent ball control. He is usually placed in front of his defence and is more of a defensive midfielder, providing them with extra protection.

In addition to that, he has excellent passing ability to further maintain possession. He wants to replicate the impact compatriot Sergei Milinkovic-Savic had on Lazio at Verona. Rival clubs such as Inter Milan, AC Milan and Napoli are currently tracking the player. He completes a move from Manchester City to Italy in 2021.

3. Aaron Hickey (Bologna)

Aaron Hickey is a Scotland international who plays at left-back in Bologna. He is one of the few whistleblowers in Serie A for the 2021/22 season. The former Hearts left-back became the first Scottish player to score five goals in a Serie A season since Graeme Souness in the early 1980s.

In total, he has contributed 6 goals in the league. That’s an incredible statistic for a young left-back. A number of Premier League teams including Arsenal, West Ham, Newcastle, Tottenham and Brentford are considering a move for him. Arsenal and Tottenham look like the strongest contenders to sign the defender.

2. Felix Afena-Gyan (AS Rome)

Felix Afena-Gyan is a Ghanaian who plays as a forward for Roma. The 19-year-old striker made 17 appearances in Serie A, scoring two goals. He still has a long way to go and can learn a lot from teammate Abraham who had an excellent season in Roma.

Jose Mourinho prefers African strikers and if the manager is in Roma for a long time, we could see Afena Gian develop into a world-class striker. He scored 2 goals against Genoa, which even earned him a coach worth 800 euros from Mourinho. He is known for his blistering speed, which is dangerous for any defender.

1. Matias Soule (Juventus)

Matias Soule is an Argentine striker who plays in an attacking role for Juventus. The 19-year-old is one of the few Argentine starlets who can’t be compared to the legendary Lionel Messi. Instead, one sees Angel Di Maria in him because of his ability to cut inside and threaten goal from the flanks. He made two appearances last season, lasting just four minutes. With attackers such as Alvaro Morata, Paulo Dybala and Federico Bernardeschi leaving Juventus, it will be a perfect opportunity for the youngster to make an impact.
