Juventus defender Daniele Rugani has hailed Sampdoria striker Patrik Schick.

Czech Republic U21 ace Schick is expected to join Juve and will face Italy in the Euros.

Rugani said: “Schick is a very talented player and it will certainly take a strong defensive performance from the whole team to limit him.

“I played against Schick when Juve visited Sampdoria. We know his characteristics, he's a player with great technique and talent, but is also physical.

"We'll keep a close eye on him."
