Roma ace Nicolo Zaniolo says he'd never consider taking the No10 shirt.

Zaniolo feels the weight of Francesco Totti's old number would be too much for him.

He said, "I wouldn't even think about it. I'd like to keep my own number, out of respect for the captain [Totti]. I wouldn't even try to say 'yes'."

"For any young man to be compared to Francesco is a great feeling, but I must say that I'm Nicolo Zaniolo and I must stay on this path."

Zaniolo added: "Kaka inspired me for the way he played, and his position on the pitch was similiar to my own.

"I also enjoyed watching Ronaldinho play. I'd watch games just for him."
