Giampaolo Pazzini (born August 2, 1984 in Pescia) is an Italian footballer who currently plays for U.C. Sampdoria in the Serie A league.

Club career
Pazzini joined Fiorentina from Atalanta in January 2005. During his first season he didn't find space in Cesare Prandelli's plans as the latter preferred Luca Toni as the main striker, with Pazzini and Bojinov acting as second strikers. After the departure of Luca Toni, Pazzini became a starter and he reached to score 9 goals during the Serie A 2007-08. With the arrival of former Milan striker Alberto Gilardino, Prandelli opted for Adrian Mutu and Gilardino to form a striking partnership. As a result, Pazzini didn't find enough playing time and on January 14, 2009, he transferred to Sampdoria.

International career
Pazzini was formerly a member of the Italy Under-21 team. He holds the record for the first and fastest goal scored at the Wembley Stadium, on March 27, 2007 when he scored 3 times in a friendly match against the England U-21.
