Serie A 2018-19: 5 AC Milan players to watch out for this season

#4 Patrick Cutrone

Patrick Cutrone

Patrick Cutrone is another exciting talent who is billed to be one of the most gifted strikers in world football. Cutrone has all the qualities of a typical no.9 because of his physicality as well as his ability to poach goals. The 20-year-old can be a thorn in the flesh for any opponent because of his ability to penetrate the rival’s defence with his electric pace and quick counter-attacks.

The Italian has time to grow as a player and can improve in certain areas. With Gonzalo Higuain by the side, Cutrone can gain valuable inputs from the Argentine playing alongside him as Higuain has loads of experience playing in the Italian Serie A. Cutrone can be handy because of his ability to move in goal scoring positions and his quality to win aerial duels.

Cutrone scored 10 goals in 28 Serie A games in the last season with 4 assists to his name, while he netted 4 goals in 9 Europa League games last season. The striker has already shown glimpses of his talent in the ongoing season too by netting 2 goals in 10 games with 1 assist to his name.

For a youngster like Cutrone, the figures are quite decent in terms of his age but it will be interesting to see whether he will be able to deliver during crunch situations.
