AC Milan striker Stephan El Shaarawy has welcomed comparisons with Samuel Eto'o.

El Shaarawy only just turned 20, but is Serie A Capocannoniere so far with 12 goals to his name.

"I am pleased to receive so many compliments and all I can do is try to keep it up. I even heard comparisons to Samuel Eto'o, who is such a great champion. Like him I try to sacrifice myself for the team and often even work as a full-back to help out."
