After starting out in Argentina, he went on to compete professionally in Italy and Romania. Gorobsov operates primarily as a central midfielder, but is also comfortable at playing both in attack and defense.

Early life

As a child, Gorobsov lived in San Pedro, north of Buenos Aires, before his family decided to move out of Argentina and settle in Italy.[1][2][3] He is of Russian origin from the paternal line, making him eligible to represent Russia alongside Italy and Argentina.

During the 2007–08 season, he played 22 matches for Vicenza Calcio's Primavera team, scoring two goals, as well playing once for the seniors in Serie B. After being promoted to the first team before the 2008–09 season, he came to prominence, earning himself 15 caps and a reputation of hot prospect for the future.[4]
