AC Milan fullback Ignazio Abate has heaped praise on Mattia de Sciglo.
De Sciglio is being tipped for an Italy call.
"Mattia is doing well," he told Milan Channel. "He is growing both defensively and offensively.
"But now comes the hard part. He is a head on his shoulders though and is definitely a player going places.
"I think the competition is normal in a great team - it would be a problem if there wasn't any."
