Article continued from part one of the article
Frederik Sorensen (Juventus)
Signed on-loan from Danish side, Lyngby, before the start of the 2010/11 season, Sorensen had a more than impressive season with the Turin giants. Juventus have completed the permanent capture of the towering centre-back and has
been handed a four year contract. Playing in his first year of professional football and still being a raw talent, the 18-year-old hardly showed any nerves and disturbed even the top strikers in the league. His astounding display against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan in Juve’s
1-0 win last season was his standout performance. The Dane kept Samuel Eto’o at bay for the full 90 minutes and was rock solid in his tackling and aerial challenges.
Sorensen primarily plays a centre-back but was also used as a right full-back by Juventus last season.
Stephan El-Shaarawy (A.C Milan)
Signed from Genoa in the summer transfer window, El-Shaarawy is considered as the next big thing in Italian football. The attacking midfielder had a fantastic 2010/11 season on-loan with Serie B side, Padova. The 18-year-old racked
up 29 appearances in all competitions last season and scored 9 goals too. Despite initial concerns over his short term future, manager, Massimiliano Allegri, decided to include him in his first-team plans in the upcoming season and he will have a role to play
for the Rossoneri.
