AC Milan boss Pippo Inzaghi insists Stephan El Shaarawy is staying.

The striker has struggled for minutes under Inzaghi this season.

But the coach insists: "El Shaarawy's future is at Milan.

"He and De Sciglio are the crown jewels of our squad: young, Italian and international players.

"I have the utmost faith in Stephan and the same goes for the club and the President. We all expect a lot from him.

"He's coming off an injury, but has already done good things and I hope 2015 will be his breakthrough year."
