5 most valuable young footballers from Italy

Gianluigi Donnarumma is a beast in goal – at 17 years of age

#3 Andrea Belotti – €20 million

The Italian Harry Kane – only in terms of being a rare find

Remember two-three seasons ago when Tottenham Hotspurs fielded Harry Kane and no one – except Arsenal fans – had heard of him? And remember how it’s turned out for them since? That’s the story of Andrea Belotti in Italy - only that it happened at the start of this season.

The 23-year-old striker is now one of Europe’s most sought-after player. Why? Because he’s a striker, he can score goals, he’s young and he’s got the athletic ability to mix it with the very best in years to come.

This season, the Torino forward has scored a mind-blowing 16 goals and has contributed 4 assists in the 21 games he’s played. Playing for a Turin club that isn’t “ the” Turin club and scoring like he is, is an achievement in itself. A move across town or to one of Europe’s giants is excepted in the summer. €50 million or so is the touted price.
