Nicolò Barella – Caligari

Barella is a central midfielder, who like most of the others, can play in an advanced role and succeed.

The 21-year old has massive potential and is likely to live up to that potential in the Premier League.

Barella is likely to join one of the top clubs and Liverpool would be smart to pursue him, and while he doesn’t have the speed or strength of some similar players, the Serie A man is good at everything.

The Caligari man is essentially a hybrid, he combines the defensive skill required at the centre of the park and the burst needed to contribute offensively.

His high level of pursuit makes him a force in the midfield and he is assured to grow as he is very young.
