Sassuolo striker Andrea Pinamonti has dedicated his first cap with Italy to his late agent Mino Raiola.

Raiola passed away earlier this year.

Pinamonti said, “It's a goal that all people who start playing dream about. Getting there now means so much to me, it's a source of pride and satisfaction.

“It was an unexpected debut. I knew I was starting behind in the hierarchy and for that I have to thank the coach who allowed me to make my debut."

On a dedication, he added: “It would be obvious to say my family, who always support me. Another special dedication is for Mino Raiola, who has always believed in me and knew I would reach this goal."
