Alessio Cerci:
It is perhaps more notable when you play for a “lesser” side amidst the Giants. Alessio Cerci, the 26 year old who plays for Torino as a winger is surely the perfect epitome. The Italian International has been a driving force for the Turin club who are currently seventh in the Serie A standings and pushing for European football next season. Cerci has scored 13 times and also mustered 9 assists in 31 appearances this season (stats as from Whoscored).
The £16m rated star wants Champions League football and with United set to miss out on Europe’s elite competition, City might just pounce on the Torino man. Both Manchester United and Manchester City have been given a boost in their pursuit of Alessio Cerci, as the winger has admitted that he will consider his future at the end of the season.
However one question still remains to be answered. How many Italians have been successful in the Premier League?
