Nowadays youth don’t get much of a chance in Italy but Mauro Icardi got his chance 2 years ago and well he’s not looked back since scoring an impressive 22 goals this year in his first full season, with 17 of those coming in Serie A, which is only third behind world cup winner Luca Toni on 19 and the extraordinary Carlos Tevez on 20 with 3 games to go the Capocannoniere is really going to be a fight till the end,in which he was the eventual winner with 22 Serie A goals, along with 27 in all competitions,that's why there is a whole host of European heightweights sniffing around.
Mauro turned down a big money move to AS Monaco in 2014 as a replacement for the injured Radamal Falcao but turned down the move as he thought it would be a step down, and what an excellent choice he made. This season scoring vital goals against Juventus yet again scoring in his last 4 fixture again them, Roma in the dying minutes for much needed 2-1 win, scoring a penalty in the dying minutes against Sampdoria which is know as in Italy as the’ Wanda Derby,’ and finally an amazing finish the Giuseppe Mezza would have been proud of against Cagliari for a 2-1 away in Sardinia.
All in all Mauro has the potential to be one of the best number 9’s in the world one day, and there no real surprise that he has been linked with Manchester United and Chelsea, however there are also some many name been throw in Christen Benteke Aston Villa, Paulo Dybala(dubbed the new Aguero, now of Juventus) as well as the deadly Alexandre Lacazette from Lyon.
Thank you for reading.
