In Italy he has already been proclaimed to be the new Luca Toni, and the biggest clubs in Serie A would like him, although the player himself wants to stay at Parma for the time being. He made his league debut at the age of 16 and that was at the end of 2012-13 season, on the 30th of March against Pescara. He won a silver medal with the Italian U-17 national team at the UEFA Euro U-17. Despite the fact that he did not score a single goal in the tournament, he was impressive.
