AS Roma whiz Nicolo Zaniolo is aware of the hype now swirling around him.

The young midfielder has already scored five goals this season, including a brace in the Champions League win over Porto.

"I hope to be a good representative of this generation and I hope to keep going like this," the 19-year-old told Sky Sport Italia.

“I have to keep my feet on the ground. Everyone expects so much of you at this level, but talent isn't everything. A good head and hard work are also needed.

“Italy? Mancini's started on the right track."
