Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini admits he is delighted with the form of Mario Pasalic.

The midfielder is on a season-long loan from Chelsea.

Gasperini enthused: "He has great quality, it is no coincidence that he is from Chelsea and they have loaned him very young to teams of great value, I think that here in Bergamo he can find the best conditions, like others, for evolving as a footballer, his qualities, both physical and technical, are of very high value.

"The fact that he has started so well is because he has very important experience."
