The grandson of Italy legend Giampiero Boniperti is making big waves at Juventus.

The 18 year-old Filippo has won a first call-up to the Italy U19 squad this past week.

Filippo plays for Juventus's Primavera made a name for himself last year when he scored a hat-trick for the Allievi against Modena.

Filippo crept back on to the radar a week ago when he scored a goal for the Juventus Primavera in their 2-0 victory over Genoa in the Coppa Italia.

"I am very happy, but I am not surprised. But it's too soon to tell if this call up is the confirmation of his jump in quality," his famous grandfather said.

"I have never thought of him as my heir. I have always been happy by his desire to work in sport. For now, it's going well."
