#3 - Adrien Rabiot

The Frenchman joined from Paris Saint Germain on a free transfer this summer and already looks like a shrewd capture for Juventus.

Having made his debut in Juve's previous encounter against Spurs, the midfielder put in an assured performance despite being on the wrong end of the result.

He was handed a start as Maurizio Sarri's men came up against Antonio Conte's Inter and the 24-year-old was one of few players who can take away positives from his performance.

Starting in a midfield trio alongside Blaise Matuidi and Miralem Pjanic, Rabiot did his reputation no harm as he combined his box-to-box ability with craft and elegance on the ball.

Although Juve were overrun in midfield by the likes of Marcelo Brozovic and Stefano Sensi, the Frenchman stood his ground and kept getting better as the game progressed.

Juve are stacked at the centre of the park but Rabiot's form in pre-season coupled with his versatility is sure to have impressed Maurizio Sarri and the former PSG man looks set to be a key player for the Bianconeri.
