Sampdoria striker Giampaolo Pazzini is delighted with his Italy call-up.

"It is the greatest source of satisfaction," the 24-year-old beamed.

"Now I will try to keep hold of this shirt. I am just playing with enthusiasm at the moment - there is no bitterness towards Fiorentina.

"Perhaps it has been easier recently because I have the assists from Antonio Cassano, but I have also created lots of goals myself."
