Main Points

• Getting to Know Kian Fitz-Jim, Torino's Fifth Purchase of the Season.
• Kian Fitz-Jim, a young player from the Netherlands, officially becomes Torino's fifth signing after previously playing at Ajax.
• Alla scoperta di Fitz-Jim, il quinto acquisto di Petrachi per un Torino da rilanciare.

Kian Fitz-Jim, a young midfielder who was born in Amsterdam on July 5 2003, officially joined Torino after previously playing at Ajax since 2019. With a father from Suriname and a mother from Hong Kong, Fitz-Jim is ready to make a contribution to the granata team. Upon arriving at Caselle airport, he stated, "I'm very happy, let's go Torino!".

Fitz-Jim becomes Torino's fifth signing in the transfer market this summer, after Oristanio, Mascardi, Comuzzo and Comert. This transfer is estimated to be worth around 2.5 million euros, and has attracted the attention of several big clubs such as Porto. The player, who recently celebrated his 23rd birthday, will contract with Torino for three years, with an option to extend for one year.

Regarding the quality of the game, Fitz-Jim is known as a player with great potential. Daniele Cavalletto, former assistant coach at Ajax, said that Fitz-Jim was very dedicated to improving his abilities. "Every time a training session is over, he always runs to our office to ask for training recordings and analyze areas that need improvement. He is an extraordinary young man, comes from a family with many good values. He is polite, always wants to learn, and has high listening skills," he said.

Fitz-Jim started his football career at the AZ Alkmaar academy before joining Ajax. In the last two seasons, he has made 66 appearances for Ajax, although his first season under coach Farioli was more successful than his second, during which he suffered a shoulder injury that limited his playing time.

With the 3-4-2-1 formation implemented by coach Ignazio Abate, Fitz-Jim is expected to act as one of the two central midfielders. He is known as a dynamic midfielder, has good technique, and is able to maintain his position when the team loses the ball. His skill in starting attacks with accurate passes is an added value for Torino. Fitz-Jim also likes to operate in the middle of the field and often drops into the back line to help build attacks.

Despite choosing to represent the Netherlands at youth level up to U-21, the decision to leave Ajax was taken so he could get more playing time. In his statement, he said, "Before Farioli's arrival, I had to be patient. After a good season under him, I hoped to have continuity. However, this season it seems like I'm back to square one, because I rarely start a game from the beginning."

By joining Fitz-Jim, Torino hopes to optimize his potential and make him one of the team's future stars.

What happened next

After officially joining, Kian Fitz-Jim is expected to immediately adapt to Torino's style of play and get more playing time. The Torino coach is likely to utilize his abilities as a versatile midfielder to strengthen the team's midfield. With his experience from Ajax, he has the potential to become one of the key players in Torino's game scheme in Serie A.
