Top Youngster In Serie A

PaToNiSTi invites the readers to vote on who is the top young player under the age of 23 in Italy’s Serie A this year. A simple glance at the games last night will show the observer that young guns are a key part of Serie A. Marek Hamsik and Alexandre Pato scored vital goals for their respective sides, while the likes of Sebastian Giovinco are no less vital in midfield.

Indeed, perhaps due to the fact that money flows less readily than before in Italian football, primavera products are maybe more important than ever.

To this end we ask readers to select which of the following players can be considered the best of the new batch in Italy. Perhaps Mario Balotelli, the Inter forward? Or Cristian Zapata, the young Colombian defender who is being tracked by Arsenal as he continues to impress for Udinese? Here’s the list in full:

Alexandre Pato (AC Milan)
Cristian Zapata (Udinese)
Ezequiel Lavezzi (Napoli)
Fabiano Santacroce (Napoli)
Jeremy Menez (Roma)
Marek Hamsik (Napoli)
Mario Balotelli (Inter)
Mauro Zarate (Lazio)
Paolo De Ceglie (Juventus)
Sebastian Giovinco (Juventus)
Stevan Jovetic (Fiorentina)
