Former AC Milan coach Fabio Capello admits he's a fan of Sandro Tonali.

The youngster has shone for Serie A leaders Milan this season.

Capello told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "He would have had space also in the great Milan.

"He has personality, strength and quality, he's intelligent on the pitch.

"He's very strong on a defensive level, and equally in giving the ball forward: he sees the game, and moves the ball with speed."
