Juventus hero Andrea Pirlo admits he's a fan of Brescia youngster Sandro Tonali.

The Italy international is expected to leave Brescia this summer.

Pirlo said, “It is said that he may be my heir, but I don't see many things in common.

“He is another type of player. He is much more complete both in the defensive phase and when he sets up. He is a mix between my characteristics and those of other players.

“He is the most promising of midfielders. He will surely become a great player."
