Nicolò Tresoldi, who is the Italian-born Hannover striker

Raised in Gubbio, a son of art, he moved to Saxony as a child and now wears the Germany under team shirt. Who is the 2004 center forward who is conquering Hannover

From rising star of Italian tennis to child prodigy of German football. There was a time when Nicolò Tresoldi, the Hannover striker, shone on the red clay, with the racket in his hands, together with Luca Nardi, the current number 132 in the world in the ATP ranking. In the meantime he also played football, his other great passion. But it was only in 2017, when he moved from Umbria to Lower Saxony following his mother, a hostess at Hanover airport, that he began to establish himself as a footballer. A modern centre-forward, he loves to attack deep and knows how to score in any way, from headers to penalties. With the Hannover 96 shirt, one of the fallen nobles of German football, he is forging ahead, starring with two goals and three assists in the first five matches of this Bundesliga 2, the second series. And on Friday evening he could make his debut with the Germany Under 21 national team, ready to snatch him away from Italy, which for now has never called him up, even if the blue could still represent a temptation for the future.
