Over the course of four seasons, he scored 15 goals in 72 appearances for the team, before joining Cracovia in 2016, for whom he scored 32 goals across two seasons. In 2018, Piatek signed for Genoa in Italy&#39;s Serie A. After 19 goals in 21 competitive games in his first half-season, he transferred to AC Milan in January 2019, before signing for Hertha BSC a year later.<BR><BR>Piatek has been described as a &quot;classic&quot; &quot;number 9&quot; striker most efficient inside the opponent&#39;s penalty area, courtesy of his excellent positioning, accurate finishing, height, physical strength, and tenacity in aerial or physical challenges with opponents. His team play outside the penalty area and playmaking abilities have been cited as areas in need of improvement, however.<BR><BR>During his time in Genoa, Piatek played in a 3&#8211;5&#8211;2 formation as a main striker, usually on the left, most often supported by Christian Kouame, a pacey forward with excellent dribbling and passing skills. In Milan, he became a lone striker in a 4&#8211;3&#8211;3 formation, supported by wingers on either side of the pitch.<BR><BR>Piatek has named Harry Kane and Robert Lewandowski as his two favourite strikers who he wishes to emulate. He has also cited Cristiano Ronaldo and Thierry Henry as his childhood inspirations.<\/P>","e_index":3};
