4. Riccardo Saponara – AC Milan
This talented youngster arrives at San Siro after guiding Empoli to promotion to Serie A with 11 goals and 14 assists last season.
Premature comparisons have been made to Kaka, although there are various similarities in their game that would make a case for the claim to be true.
Coupled with the Rossoneri reintroducing the trequartista role into the tactical set-up this season, the stage is set for Saponara to thrive given the expected delay in Keisuke Honda’s arrival.
With the likes of Kevin-Prince Boateng lacking the creative flair the Italy Under-21 international possesses, fitness permitting, he could prove to be one of the signings of the summer.
