About this episode

Liverpool have made a statement signing, bringing in teenage sensation Giovanni Leoni for €35M. This episode dives deep into what makes the young Italian centre-back a perfect fit for Arne Slot's system. We break down his style—from his masterful defensive anticipation to his progressive passing—and analyze how his experience in Serie A and Serie B has already prepared him for the Premier League's biggest stage. Is this the long-term successor to Virgil van Dijk, or a masterclass in calculated squad building?
