Across 14 appearances as a replacement, Gasperini consistently contributes both with ball in hand and in defence, averaging over five tackles per outing alongside meaningful carry contributions. His peak performances — reaching double figures in both carries and tackles in a single match — demonstrate that he can step off the bench and immediately impose himself on the contest. The balance between his carrying and tackling numbers points to a player who earns his minutes through hard, two-way work rather than isolated moments.
