Future:

As a teenager, he left his native Poland and signed with Udinese. Beginnings were tough, but he soon became a force to be reckoned with in the Primavera. He was scoring freely and getting a lot of assists, which did not go unnoticed. First team coach, Francesco Guidolin, gave Piotr his debut in the first team on 3rd December 2012 against Cagliari. Currently he has already made a couple of appearances in the first team and if he wins a place in the first XI, he should soon be given a call-up to the senior Polish national team.
