#4 Andrea Petagna

One forward to watch out for: Andrea Petagna

With all of Europe drooling over the good work of Atalanta’s Franck Kessie, there’s another talent from the Serie A club who seems to have unnoticed even though he has been excellent throughout the season so far.

Petagna might not be a famous name yet but the way he’s setting up his future with Atalanta – a side that’s surprising many with their performances in the Serie A this season. Having failed to make it at AC Milan as a youngster, Petagna has now become a vital part of a UEFA Champions League-chasing team with his five goals and five assists in all competitions.

The 21-year-old is also adept at playing with the ball at his feet. He’s got great dribbling and is able to find a pass into a running teammate. His vision combined with his trickery make him a real asset for the Bergamo club.
