AC Milan chief Galliani hails 2-goal El Shaarawy: He's like Eto'o

AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani was delighted with two-goal Stephan El Shaarawy after victory over Cagliari.

Galliani likened the youngster to Anzhi star Samuel Eto'o.

"He's a '92, a boy of 20 years of age. Tonight we played two '92's, De Sciglio and El Shaarawy.

"The Pharaoh has cost a lot of money, he can become a major player. I really like what he is doing and wins a lot of ball. I really like the players who are attackers and work as defenders. I liked Eto'o, this one is a bit like him.

"He is a winger who can work as a defender. I remember Eto'o at Barcelona in the semi-final with us. He marked Cafu."
