Italy World Cup winner Giorgio Chiellini admits he's unconvinced by AC Milan striker Rafael Leao.
Leao has struggled for Portugal at the Euros this month.

“We all wish he was a bit further ahead (in his development), but he’s not: he lacks the numbers and his potential remains largely unrealised. I don’t know if he’ll ever have that click in his mind to score more goals and provide more assists,” said Juventus hero Chiellini.
“As of today, for me, he is a great substitute rather than a permanent starter for a team aiming to win either a European Championship or the Champions League.
"If the benchmark is Vinicius and Rodrigo, he is not at their level.”
