Scouting Report & Player Insights
Nicola Zalewski is a versatile Roma-academy product, a left-footed wide player equally at home as a right wing-back or inverted winger. He offers energetic shuttling up and down the flank, tidy combination play, and dangerous left-footed crosses and set-piece delivery. After leaving Roma he moved through Inter Milan before joining Atalanta, where his athleticism and tactical flexibility suit Serie A's demanding wing-back systems. A regular for the Poland national team, he remains more of an industrious facilitator than a end-product threat.
Product of Roma's youth academy who broke into their first team as a teenager.
Established Poland international who has featured at major tournaments.
