AC Milan striker Daniel Maldini feels ready to prove himself with loan club Spezia.

Maldini has joined Spezia on-loan for the season.

He said, "In the family they have always left me free choice, I'm happy to be here.

"Behind the striker is the role I like best, but also mezzala, everything is fine with me."

Maldini also said: "Leaving home is difficult but I needed to play, a new motivation."
