Boniek believes his coaches Jose Mourinho and Roberto Mancini are missing a trick.
“Zaniolo has incredible potential. If you ask people what his position is, then everyone will give you a different response," Boniek told New Sound Level radio.
“In my view, he is a classic Number 9. He can protect the ball, has physical strength, turns defenders well, is good in the air and can shoot.
“I always say when I see Vlahovic play that Zaniolo could do just as well, even perhaps better, because he also has this strong physicality. He really is a great player."
