A love for the game

“My family moved to Italy more than 30 years ago. Me and my brother started playing football together and it was a journey together. Football has been very much a part of my life since I was a very little child; I love football.”

Experiencing Filbert Way

“I first went to King Power Stadium about five years ago for a friendly match and I just played a couple of minutes (for Atalanta). I was young but it was a very great experience. I was also surprised by the stadium; at that time it was already a good stadium.”

His Serie A debut

“The atmosphere can be very fierce [in Italy]. To see all the people shouting at you and screaming your name was very unbelievable and something so big for me. And also playing where I grew up was a very important thing to me, so it was very good.”

International aspirations

“Sometime in my future I hope to play some senior international games and it will be a very big step for me. I hope it will come very soon.”

‘A dream come true’

“Now I’m here, this time playing for Leicester. To go every other weekend to play Premier League games there, it is a very good thing for me. I always thought about one day playing in the Premier League. Now that I’m here in Leicester, it’s a dream come true, so I’m very excited.”
