The diminutive forward also discussed his new life in Canada, and spoke positively of the city he now calls home.
“The city [Toronto] is fantastic, as are the fans. It’s like a mini New York, and life is good.
“Football is going through a fantastic evolution, we’re a young team and we can have fun and build well in the next few years.
“It would be pointless to deny the economic aspect, but I wanted to get away from Italy and the US fascinated me.”
