Kian Fitz-Jim impresses in early appearances for Torino

Midfielder Kian Fitz-Jim has made a strong initial impression following his move from Ajax to Torino. The 23-year-old Dutch player has already completed 90 minutes in matches against Carrarese and AC Milan.

La Gazzetta dello Sport has praised Fitz-Jim for his versatility, noting that he does not fit a traditional mold of either a playmaker or a pure defensive midfielder. In the match against AC Milan, he was noted for his ability to disrupt play and use physical strength to press opponents, while in the cup match against Carrarese, he demonstrated offensive capabilities through key passing.

Fitz-Jim, who signed a three-year contract with an option for an additional year, expressed positive feelings about his transition to Turin, citing the city's atmosphere and the integration with his new teammates. He chose the number 28 to honor his father and maintain a connection to his time at Ajax.
