Sampdoria defender Shkodran Mustafi says moving to Italy has improved his game.
Mustafi moved to Serie A after coming through Everton's academy.
"Someone had to Google my name to find me when I arrived at Samp," he told Il Secolo XIX. "But I think I've played well enough to make sure that doesn't happen anymore!
"In England I grew up a lot in terms of athleticism, but at Samp I have become the compete defender.
"There is no better League than the Italian one if you want to improve in my role.
"I didn't think I would get any playing time at the World Cup - so this tournament has exceeded all my expectations."
