Papu Gomez, as he is better known as, wears the shirt No. 10 for Atalanta and is the creative hub of his team. The versatile Argentinean is basically a midfielder who can play through the left or through the center. But Papu is equally comfortable playing as the attacking midfielder, the secondary striker or even the center forward. He has appeared in all these positions for his club this season, but his best has arrived when he played as the second striker.

The Argentinean is very good at holding on to the ball and drawing his teammates into the game. He is a great dribbler and also a fantastic passer of the ball. He is good at set pieces as well as long rangers and likes to cut inside and take a shot at goal.

Papu has been fantastic for his team this season. He has scored 9 goals from 35 appearances and has also registered 9 assists.
