Gianluca Scamacca, who is on the verge of completing a move to West Ham United, spoke about his pride at being compared to Zlatan Ibrahimović.
The Italy forward’s height and style of play has seen him often likened to the Milan forward.
But Scamacca is not overawed the comparisons and even welcomes them.
Reports on Saturday suggested Premier League side West Ham had agreed a €36 million deal with Sassuolo to sign Scamacca.
He had been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain earlier in the summer.
