Young. Roman. Passionate. Grinta. Good Looks. Edoardo Bove has what it takes the be the next face of AS Roma.
Ranking Roma’s Youth, #2: Nicola Zalewski
There’s no doubt that Nicola Zalewski is a senior squad player now; the question is just how high his star can rise (and what position he’ll be playing).
Ranking Roma's Youth, #3: Julen Jon Guerrero
The son of a Bilbao legend, Julen Jon Guerrero is poised to make a name for himself with Roma's Primavera. And if all goes according to plan, he'll be our new Dybala.
Ranking Roma’s Youth, #4: Riccardo Pagano
An explosive season at the Primavera level has earned Pagano a spot on Roma’s first team at just 18 years of age and the future looks bright for one of Roma’s most highly touted academy products.
Ranking Roma’s Youth, #5: Giacomo Faticanti
Tired Jack (no, that’s not his nickname) might be Roma’s most exciting Primavera prospect. But will he be sticking around the club for long enough to follow in his idol Daniele De Rossi’s footsteps?

He hasn't had an easy time in the Eternal City, but Marash Kumbulla can still blossom into a solid Serie A defender.

Ranking Roma’s Youth, #8: Niccolò Pisilli
The recent U-19 Euros Champion and U-20 World Cup Finalist has a stacked midfield ahead of him in the depth chart, but could prove to be a great long-term investment.
Ranking Roma's Youth, #9: Dimitrios Keramitsis
The young Greek center-back impressed during his first full season with Roma's Primavera side. With his contract set to expire this season, he could force his way into the senior team picture before too long.
