Former Roma coach Fabio Capello believes Nicolò Zaniolo has similarities to Milan legend Dejan Savicevic. "That's where his talent lies."
Capello was talking to the Corriere dello Sport newspaper about the Roma star, and believes he's matured over the last several months.
"Zaniolo has understood what it means to be an important player. His maturation is in process," said Capello.
The 20-year-old has been used both in attack and midfield, including both roles during Italy's 9-1 victory over Armenia.

The 20-year-old has been used both in attack and midfield, including both roles during Italy's 9-1 victory over Armenia.
"His ideal position is the same as Savicevic, on the right in attack, just like in the first half against Armenia. That's where his talent lies, with strength, speed and technique."
Zaniolo scored twice against the Armenians, and in doing so becoming the youngest Roma player to score for the Azzurri in history, beating Daniele De Rossi's record from 2004.
