#3 Cengiz Under

AS Roma v Avellino - Pre-Season Friendly

21-year-old Cengiz Under moved to Roma in 2017 after a single campaign at the Turkish top flight. His debut season in Italy was solid, 7 goals and an assist in around 1200 minutes, making him Roma's second highest goalscorer in Serie A. Under also takes a pretty good 3.3 shots per game, nearly half of those coming from outside the box. As a result, it isn't a surprise Under over performed in expected goals last season, his 7 strikes coming against an expected 5.

With also the creation of 1.6 chances per game is hardly amazing, but it was the fifth best for Roma and also better than what new signing Javier Pastore managed in Ligue One. Also with the departure of Radja Nainggolan, he will surely carry the more play making responsibility too.
