Andrea Petagna’s agent claims the Atalanta striker can “become one of the best around” as “he’s already made me start working” for the summer.
Petagna earned his first Italy call-up at the weekend as a replacement for the injured Manolo Gabbiadini, despite only scoring five Serie A goals for Atalanta, and Giuseppe Riso believes the former Milan youngster is just getting started.
“Many clubs after Petagna? He’s already made me start working! I was hoping to rest, but no,” the representative told Premium Sport.

“Many clubs after Petagna? He’s already made me start working! I was hoping to rest, but no,” the representative told Premium Sport.
“He has unique characteristics, he could play in any League. He has a physical structure that means he needs to play in order to grow.
“We’ll make all the necessary evaluations with the President Percassi, but Petagna has a lot of quality, so much so that I can’t predict how far he’ll go.
“Only a few goals scored? Many strong strikers like Ibrahimovic and Mandzukic in their early career were not clinical or great goalscorers,
“It’s his first year as a starter in Serie A and he still has plenty of room for improvement.
“If he had scored as many goals as he has putting in the dirty work, he’d already be a top player, but for now he has the potential to become one of the best strikers around.”
