Impact Raspadori only made 13 starts from 27 appearances in the 2020/21 season but still managed to score six goals, five of which came in the final 11 games of the season. His chances of making a major impact in the summer tournament aren't great so soon in his professional career, though his late-season form could make him a super-sub in desperate times. It will also be interesting to see if Raspadori can pass up Francesco Caputo, who scored 11 goals but finished the year but missed time in April to give Raspadori his chance.
