Ianis Hagi (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈhad͡ʒi]; born 22 October 1998) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays mainly as an attacking midfielder for Italian club Fiorentina.

Club career

Hagi was born in Istanbul, Turkey, when his father Gheorghe was playing in the city for Galatasaray SK.[1][2][3] He joined the Gheorghe Hagi football academy at the age of 10, and made his Liga I debut on 5 December 2014 with FC Viitorul Constanța at the age of only 16, when he came on as a last-minute substitute for Silviu Pană in a 1–2 home defeat against FC Botoșani, his maiden appearance being handed by his father.[4]

On 29 May 2015, Ianis scored his first goal as a senior, contributing to a 4–4 draw against the same opponent whilst also acting as a starter for the first time.[5] In June, Adrian Mutu announced that the son would be joining Serie A club ACF Fiorentina for a €1,000,000 fee,[6][7] but nothing came of it,[8] and he eventually gained team captaincy.

Hagi scored his second league goal against ACS Poli Timișoara, in a 4–0 home win on 21 August 2015,[9] a few days after having missed a penalty against CS Concordia Chiajna.[10]

On 10 July 2016, Hagi joined Fiorentina.[11] He made his league debut on 23 October, replacing Josip Iličić late into a 5–3 away triumph over Cagliari Calcio.[12] In April 2017, Hagi was nominated for the 2017 European Golden Boy award.[13]

International career

Hagi represented Romania at under-15, under-16, under-17, under-18, under-19 and under-21 levels.

Style of play

Considered to be a promising young footballing talent, Hagi's playing style has drawn comparison's with that of his father's due to his dribbling skills, passing, two-footedness and playmaking ability. Although his preferred role is as an attacking midfielder, he is a quick, agile, and versatile midfielder, who is also capable of playing in several advanced roles, and has also been used as a winger, a second striker, or even a central midfielder on occasion. Due to his vision, technique and eye for goal, he is both capable of creating chances for his teammates and scoring goals himself.[14][15][16][17][18]

In 2015, Hagi was named by The Guardian as one of the fifty best young footballers in the world born in 1998.[19]

Personal life

Hagi is sponsored by Nike.[20]
