Federico Chiesa is delighted with his breakthrough at Fiorentina this season.

Federico is the son of former Sampdoria and Fiorentina star Enrico Chiesa.

“I was so happy when I signed the contract, but also tense, because it was just before the game with Juventus, a very important night for us," he told Sky Sport Italia.

“I didn't really have time to stop and think about the moment, but I am very happy to be staying here for another four years.

“I hope to become Fiorentina captain one day. Coming up through the youth academy, I am a child of this club and the Viola jersey is like a second skin.

“My father helped me out a lot, as he always gave good advice during difficult moments. I didn't play so much in the youth teams because I didn't have the right physique, but he told me that with time and hard work I'd have my chance. I always hoped to follow in his footsteps."
