AC Milan coach Vincenzo Montella is delighted with what he's seen from Hakan Calhanoglu.

The former Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder featured in their friendly win over Lugano on Tuesday.

Montella said, “I think he can play anywhere. With a little more freedom, he can express his talent to an even greater degree. Italian football does require a minimum of discipline. He's very motivated and made a few sliding tackles today.

“I think he needs to improve physically, but we will find a great player at the end of it. The club has moved well on the market and we must also thank the players who did so well last season.

“So far we've worked well, but we'll only tell how much the team has improved once we get on to the field. I think Napoli have reinforced the most by simply keeping the squad at their disposal intact."
