Player Analysis: Davide Frattesi

Ever since it was promoted to Serie A nearly a decade ago, Sassuolo has been a club that has nurtured an abundance of young talent and it has often prioritized Italian players instead of looking for hidden gems from aboard like its counterparts.

While playing for the club in the Emilia-Romagna region in Italy, the likes of Domenico Berardi, Simone Zaza, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Manuel Locatelli, and Giacomo Raspadori as well as late bloomer Francesco Caputo were able to break into the Italian national team.

Another player who is looking to follow in their footsteps is 21-year-old central midfielder Davide Frattesi. Having earned 56 caps for Italy so far at various youth levels and recently making his Serie A debut, the Rome native will be hoping that he can find his senior international breakthrough based on his form with the Neroverdi.
