Scouting Report & Player Insights

Leonardo Spinazzola is a veteran Italian left-back/wing-back known for his overlapping runs and dangerous crossing from deep, now plying his trade at Napoli in Serie A. Once one of the most explosive full-backs in Europe during Roma's peak years and Italy's Euro 2020 triumph, his powers have been tempered by a serious Achilles tendon rupture suffered during that tournament. He remains a useful squad option whose experience and delivery from wide areas outweigh his reduced physical peak. At this stage of his career he offers depth and tactical know-how more than week-in, week-out explosiveness.

Won UEFA Euro 2020 with Italy, playing a standout role before suffering an Achilles tendon rupture in the quarter-final.

Was regarded as one of Serie A's most dynamic attacking full-backs during his time at Roma.
