AC Milan hero Kaka has no doubts about the potential of Flamengo attacker Lucas Paqueta.

Paqueta is due to sign for Milan in January.

“He's a player who has a bright future ahead of him," Kaka told Milan TV.

“He's already been called-up to the Brazilian national team, but it's better for him that we don't make comparisons.

“I've seen so many of them in recent days, with me, with [Alexandre] Pato, with Ronaldinho, Cafu, Rivaldo… with all the Brazilians who have been part of Milan's history.

“We need to avoid these comparisons so he can come here and play calmly and peacefully. I'm confident."
