Sampdoria striker Eder is thrilled with his Italy call-up.

Eder was born and raised in Brazil, but has an Italian passport and is in the Azzurri squad to face Bulgaria and England.

"I spoke to him last night, he's going through a happy moment in his career," agent Andrea Bagnoli told Tuttomercatoweb.

"It's a dream come true for him. As for the future, he has a contract until 2018 and is very happy at Samp."
