Sampdoria coach Andrea Pirlo admits he's a fan of Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham.
Bellingham was in Turin this week to collect the Golden Boy award.
Pirlo said: I don't look at the player's identity card, what matters is that he shows his aptitudes and qualities.
"Bellingham is predestined, he was born to play football and it is right that he has this career.
"He is a player with great prospects combined with (Carlo) Ancellotti who is a coach with great experience and human qualities."
