19-year old Nicolo Zaniolo might have safe Roma's forgettable 2018-19 season, with his brace against Porto last night. Zaniolo, son of former player Igor Zaniolo, has emerged as a young prospect this season. His brace last night demonstrated a young kid who knows how to be at the right place, at the right time. Zaniolo posses a great first touch and finish, far superior for his young age.

Zaniolo defensive contributions are of great note, with his 2 tackles per game (who scored) and .5 interceptions a rare commodity for attacking midfielders. He posses the ability to finish with both feet, and a great dribbling skill set. He's lit the Serie A ablaze with his three goals and two assists.

With the rate Nicolo Zaniolo is progressing, Roma faithful can only hope Zaniolo stays at the Stadio Olimpicio, and follows the footsteps of Legend Francesco Totti.
