Cagliari goalkeeper Alessio Cragno is delighted to be in Italy's squad.

Cragno was called up to the Italy squad on Thursday, replacing Mattia Perin as the Azzurri's third shot-stopper.

He told Gazzetta dello Sport: “What makes (Gigio) Donnarumma a top player? Physical strength. He's almost 2m tall. He takes up a lot of space.

“Our relationship is excellent. We've known each other for years. What did Mancini tell me? Nothing so far, but being called up to the national team was wonderful and something I didn't expect to happen so soon.

“I don't really think about the market and the big teams, but I don't even have time to think about it.

“I feel great at Cagliari. I'm tied to this club and I want to do well here. I bought a house in the city. It's an investment.

“My best quality? I think reactions. I still have a lot to improve, above all in reading some situations."
