Stephan El Shaarawy, born on 27 October 1992 (age 33), is an Italian left winger whose career is tied most closely to Roma. There were brighter bursts elsewhere, and one obvious early scoring peak, but Roma is where the bulk of his senior football has been played.
He came through at Genoa before an early loan at Padova helped move him from prospect to senior player. AC Milan then gave him the stage for his most productive league season: 16 goals in 37 appearances in 2012–13. That remains the standout campaign in his scoring record.
A later loan at Monaco came before Roma became the main thread. El Shaarawy has made 259 league appearances for Roma across 10 seasons, scoring 52 league goals. For a player often associated with flashes of sharp wide play, that is a substantial spell rather than a passing stop.
Now primarily a left winger for Roma, his current market value is around £3m according to Transfermarkt. His career has taken in early loan development, a notable Milan season and a long Roma stretch that gives it its shape.
