Player to watch – Matias Soule
21-year-old Matias Soule is one of the bright young talents signed by Roma this summer. He’s yet to score or assist in six appearances for his new club, but netted 11 times last term in Serie A on loan at Frosinone.
Soule more cautious in possession at Roma
So far this term in Serie A, Soule is only attempting 1.4 shots per game, compared to 2.3 last term at Frosinone. His passing accuracy is up though to 89.9%.
