Former Italy striker Nicola Amoruso admits he's a fan of Gian Piero Gasperini's Atalanta.

Amoruso feels they're capable of winning a trophy this season.

He told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "Where can this Atalanta go? It is mature, aggressive, solid and plays by heart. I think it will qualify again for the European cups, perhaps even for the Champions League.

"In this Europa League it has the means to have his say and go really far. For Gasperini, a teacher whom I respect a lot, it would be the icing on the cake, the recognition of the extraordinary work done at Atalanta.

"It offers many solutions. (Ademola) Lookman is the real surprise, a level player who still has a lot of room for improvement. (Gianluca) Scamacca is bringing out all his qualities thanks to the Gasp cure and now I expect the same from (Charles) De Ketelaere, who should unlock on a psychological level.

"And then there is (Luis) Muriel, one who knows how to be decisive even by playing little. Just like happened to Graz."
