Club career
Born in Naples, D'Andrea started playing football at the grassroots schools Ponticelli, Mariano Keller and Azzurri,[1][2][3] before entering SPAL's youth sector in 2018,[4][5] where he reached the semi-finals of the national under-17 championship in 2021.[2][6] Then, in January 2022, he joined Sassuolo, signing his first professional deal in the process.[1][2][6]
In the summer of the same year, he was officially promoted to the first team by manager Alessio Dionisi: he subsequently made his professional debut on 17 September, starting the Serie A match against Torino, which ended in a 0–1 win for his side.[5][7] In January 2023, he extended his contract with Sassuolo until 2027.[8]
On 1 August of the same year, D'Andrea joined newly-promoted Serie B club Catanzaro on a season-long loan.[9][10] On 27 August, having come on as a substitute in the second half of a league match against Ternana, he gained a penalty kick for his side in the 89th minute, which was scored by Jari Vandeputte and helped Catanzaro obtain a 2–1 win.[11]
International career
D'Andrea has represented Italy at several youth international levels, having featured for the under-18 and under-19 national teams.[12][13]
He was included in the under-18 squad that took part in the 2022 Mediterranean Games in Oran,[14] as the Azzurrini eventually won the silver medal after losing to France (1–0) in the tournament's final match.[15]
In June 2023, he was included in the Italian squad for the UEFA European Under-19 Championship in Malta,[16] where the Azzurrini eventually won their second continental title.[17][18]
Style of play
D'Andrea is a left-footed forward, who can play either as an attacking midfielder or an inverted winger on the right side.[4][5] A diminutive player, he has been mainly regarded for key skills such as technique, ball control, speed, dribbling and shooting, as well as his work rate.[4][19]
