"The problem is that the boy can't come to Italy until he is 18.

"Lucas will be 17 in a few days' time, but his family has venetian orgins: if an Italian passport arrives, he could arrive in Turin in June.

"In any case, he is a fantastic player, a chosen one.

"He is one of those talents who are born every 50 years.

"He is a second striker who could play for any team in Europe. He is a really strong player."
