Described by the legendary Juninho as the best free-kick taker in the world in 2015, Pjanic has scored some absolute beauties for both his club and national sides in the last few years. Not only is he known for his accurate bending direct free-kicks, he is also renowned for delivering questioning balls into the box from anywhere on the pitch.
A true dead ball specialist, Allegri will be hoping that the playmaker continues his good performances in the 2017/18 season.
