1. Mauro Icardi – Inter – 20 years old
With 11 goals in 33 appearances last season, Mauro Icardi ensured Italy took notice while at Sampdoria which ultimately helped secure his move to Inter.
Competition will be fierce within the Nerazzurri squad next season, with fellow new signing Ishak Belfodil fighting for a place in the starting line-up as well as the likes of Rodrigo Palacio and Diego Milito.
Nevertheless, Icardi has the makings of becoming one of the most prolific strikers in the league given the combination of his pace and eye for goal.
In a league with a rich history of producing, nurturing and enjoying the talents of Argentinians, the 20-year-old will hope to add his name to a list of some of the greatest footballers to have played in Serie A.
Walter Mazzarri will place a great deal of confidence in the youngster, and it will be up to him to deliver on the early promise he has shown.
