AC Milan striker Daniel Maldini is delighted to be part of the Italy U18 squad this week.

Maldini is the son of Milan legend Paolo Maldini.

“I'm very happy to be in the national team," he told Sky Sport Italia.

“I want to honour the Azzurri jersey and my dream is to reach the senior team one day, like my grandfather and father.

“I always received help and advice from my father. He always tells me to keep my feet on the ground and remain humble on and off the field.

“My position? I play an attacking game, as a midfielder or a No 10 who thinks about scoring goals.

“My strengths are playing with only a few touches, set-pieces and seeing things before others."
