Players similar to Riccardo Calafiori

A centre-back who turns up in the box

Calafiori's runs from the left into the penalty area connect with Vertonghen's Tottenham 2012–16 phase, when a centre-back sometimes used at left-back added goals. Vertonghen's two goals at Anfield in March 2013, part of a Player of the Month spell, are an in-phase example. The comparison concerns a defender's threat in the opposition box, not overall defensive standing.
