The agent of young midfielder Edoardo Bove says he deserved his Roma debut.

Bove, 18, featured in the 5-0 rout of Crotone on Sunday.

“It was an exciting moment for him, Edoardo is a nice guy, humble and well-educated. Unfortunately he's had some issues over the last year that have slowed down his development," agent Diego Tavano told Vocegiallorossa.it.

“He has plenty of qualities and he is very smart on and off the pitch. He is a complete midfielder.

“I am really happy for him, because he deserves such an achievement. I hope he will continue to grow as he is doing, it's a nice moment for me too, and the reason my staff and I make so many sacrifices was a great moment."
