The agent of Mirko Antonucci was thrilled for the youngster after he made his Roma debut last night.

The highly-rated striker saw action in the 1-1 draw with Sampdoria.

Agent Paolo Paloni told VoceGiallorossa.it: "Mirko's debut was an indescribable feeling. I'm almost moved.

"Before the game, I called his Mum and told her to watch the game because I had the feeling, because of what was happening in the first team (rumours) transfer market related to Džeko and the injury of (Stephan) El Shaarawy.

"Bbut I specifically avoided predicting it even though I thought he could begin. Mirko, for the relationship I have with him, I do not consider him my client but a younger brother."
