The agent of Newcastle United defender Davide Santon insists his client is not missing his homeland of Italy.
The 20-year old full-back has had an injury-interrupted beginning to life as a Magpie since his arrival from Inter Milan in the summer but his representative, Renzo Contratto, believes all is well with the Italy U21 captain.
"Davide is very happy in England and he's not missing his homeland or Italian football in general. He's working hard on a daily basis with so much enthusiasm.
"These first few months have been useful so that he can settle," he added. "Unfortunately injuries have slowed down his progress.
"However, he has a promising future and he is a part of the project at Newcastle.
"Once he also learns the language then he will be totally ready. Davide has talent and the desire to work. It's just a matter of time.""He's not missing Italy, absolutely not," Contratto told BundesLigaPremier.
