He returned to Italy with newly promoted Parma at the start of this season, and his performances have been instrumental in helping the club to its surprise run in Serie A this season, which sees them placed 6th on the standings, as well as pick up some notable shock away wins against Inter Milan and Torino.
Capable of the extraordinary on his day, Gervinho has brought his wizardry with him to Parma, and scored a ‘stunning goal’ in the 2-0 home win over Cagliari by running with the ball for almost the entire length of the field, which is one of 5 Serie A goals he has scored this season in 9 matches.
