Italy have a history of boasting some of the best forwards in world football.
Roberto Baggio, Alessandro Del Piero, Simone Inzaghi and friends would walk into this current setup, but Moise Kean does offer a threat at the top end of the field, as he showed with his excellent finish to put Italy 2-0 up in Bergamo.
Considering he has been playing senior football for so long, you would be forgiven for thinking that Kean was older than 26, but he is approaching his peak years for club and country.
A tally of 27 Serie A goals for Fiorentina since the start of last season is not to be underestimated, with a respectable international goalscoring record that is close to one-in-two.
If Italy do make it to the World Cup this summer, Kean is a main man who has shown that he can find the back of the net, whether he plays well or not.
The whole of the Italian side remain unconvincing at times — hence their play-off qualification — and Kean arguably falls into the same category.
But a well-taken goal in a crucial game against Northern Ireland in the play-off semi-final will only serve to build further confidence as Italy look to secure their place in the U.S. this summer.
