Former Italy coach Cesare Prandelli admits he's a fan of Bologna striker Josh Zirkzee.

The centre-forward is being celebrated this week after a superb performance in Bologna's stunning Coppa Italia win against Inter Milan.

Prandelli told La Repubblica: This summer, speaking with friends, I said that he seemed to have incredible technical skills. And I was sure that Thiago would not cage him, but would help him simplify his game. Because we must never forget that you win with the technique of good players.

Who he reminds me of? I struggle to answer and I repeat myself, I also struggle to define him in a role, in fact, I prefer not to define him and admire him, I hope to enjoy his games for a long time, and I hope that he can become a role model, a source of inspiration for many kids."
