Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini has hailed the quality of teenage midfielder Franck Kessie.

Gasperini is convinced by Kessie's potential.

"Technically he has a good foundation and an impressive physical dominance. I guess he can play one day at a big club.

"This is because there is a need for players with his physicality, the Italian teams in do not suffer tactically or technically, but physically. In other leagues there is greater intensity.

"In Italy we have lost the taste for the game in trying to catch up with the gap in athleticism.

"Kessie, in this sense, can become an important player because he has everything."
