Jan Ziółkowski

Jan Ziółkowski is Roma's new Silver Wall, a prospect who arrived from Poland with high expectations. At just 21 years old, the center-back has already made the significant leap from Legia Warsaw to the Italian capital, bringing an imposing physical frame and a combat-ready mentality. While his trophy cabinet remains empty for now, his signing marks the start of a fresh defensive chapter for the Giallorossi as they build for the long term.

Though currently navigating a slump as he adapts to the tactical demands of a new league, the data supports his identity as a Wall. Across 11 appearances and 435 minutes, Ziółkowski stands out for his relentless Workrate, which is the defining dimension of his athletic profile. He has already secured the ENFORCER badge, backed by a strong output of 3.2 tackles per 90 minutes and a 61% duel success rate. While his reliability is still categorized as emerging, his secondary role as an INTERCEPTOR highlights a reading of the game that belies his relative lack of top-flight experience.

With a market value of €6M on a rising trend, Roma’s investment looks increasingly shrewd. In a campaign where the Stakes are high in every match, Ziółkowski's development provides a crucial Upset Factor that could solidify the backline and restore Balance during high-pressure fixtures.
