Career

A physical central midfielder, and a product of Naples-based renowned youth team Mariano Keller, he was spotted by Palermo scouts and then signed in 2014.[2]

He made his Serie A debut at the age of 17 on 14 May 2017, playing the entirety of a home league game against Genoa, and becoming the third footballer born from the year 2000 to play in the Italian top flight (after Moise Kean and Pietro Pellegri).[3]

He was successively loaned out to Torino for the 2017–18 season, but failed to make any first team appearance during the season and appeared only for the Granata'sU-19 team before returning to Palermo, again as part of the Under-19 team.[4]
