Jayden Addai arrived at Como from AZ Alkmaar for €14 million at the beginning of the summer window. His move came as one of the first of a new raft of young signings, as the lakeside team prepared for their second Serie A campaign.

Building on some fleeting appearances in Como’s colours so far, Addai looks to be steadily beginning to justify his transfer fee. The Purmerend-born winger proved integral in this past weekend’s away clash against Fiorentina, scoring a fine 93rd-minute winner.

“I think Jayden has extraordinary potential. We wanted him here because we saw important qualities in him: one-on-one play, attacking spaces, personality, and dedication,” Fabregas said at a press conference in early August. The Spaniard has steadily integrated Addai, and notably sees him as the perfect catalyst to break games open. If he continues this vein of form, he could even become a starter.
