Mattia De Sciglio is Italy’s current young break through in to the international squad this year, making appearances for Italian giants AC Milan at the young age of 20 already making 30 appearances for Milan since his league debut against Chievo back in 2011. With his attributes already being linked to that of Milan legend Paolo Maldini, many sporting critics have said that he can be the answer to Italy’s left back problems for years to come. Mattia has already represented his country at U19’s and through to the national side, where he has made 6 appearance for Italy in 2013.

De Sciglio is naturally right booted full back which can play on either side of the centre backs, whether that be at left or right back. Although for both Milan and Italy he is placed at left back. Mattia has great pace and an engine which allows him to progress up and down the wings, he is also very good in both an attacking sense where he has a great crossing technique and also he is able to protect his side of the wing with his pace that allows him to stop wingers attacking his side of the pitch.
