Luca Pellegrini: Why the New Juventus Signing Is the Biggest Bargain of the Summer

For a player who has featured so few times in senior football, the excitement surrounding Luca Pellegrini is immense.

Not only have Juventus coughed up €22m to Roma to secure his signature, they have also allowed Leonardo Spinazzola to go the other way, signalling their belief in the 20-year-old's abilities. They have good reason to believe this and, although it may not be apparent now, the fee represents amazing business for a player who looks destined for the top.

The Old Lady's new man has only made 16 Serie A appearances, with three quarters of them coming for a Cagliari side that survived relegation by the skin of their teeth last season.
