Sassuolo midfielder Davide Frattesi admits he has ambitions of playing in England.

Frattesi is being linked with Juventus this season.

He said, "It certainly gives me pleasure, that's for sure, but now is not the time to think about such things. I'm only thinking about finishing the season well, then this summer we'll see.

“My grandfather would have felt bad, like when I scored that goal. I would have had to take away his television, telephone, newspapers… although it would have been hard because he woke up so early. I'm sure it would have been great for him.

“He was the first person who believed in me, as a child he used to hang his report card on my door after every game.

“Once when I came back from a trip with the national Under-17 team, in which I had scored the decisive goal against Georgia to qualify for the European Championship, he was there at the airport with a huge Italian flag, almost in tears with happiness.

“It would have been nice to be able to give him some emotions. It is a regret that I have, but

unfortunately this is also life."

On the Premier League, he also said: “I'd like that, it's a league I can see myself in. But it's a step to take in two or three years, after I've established myself. But it's a league that fascinates me a lot, also because it doesn't have too many tactics, where you go back and forth for ninety minutes and I like that idea.

“Then Gianluca Scamacca, who was in Holland, told me that abroad they have a different way of approaching football. It would be nice to get to know a new culture."
