Pellegri, 25, was once tipped for great things after becoming the youngest ever Serie A debutant at the time of his first Genoa appearance, aged 15 years and 280 days old. He is still the only 16-year-old player to score a brace in any of Europe's top five leagues. After joining Monaco in January 2018, he became the first player born in the 21st century to score in Ligue 1 and beat Kylian Mbappe's record as the youngest player to feature in Ligue 1 for Monaco. Now, after a series of injury nightmares, Pellegri is reportedly hoping to make his mark in Serie A once domestic football returns after the international break.
