Sweden coach Andreas Pettersson told Expressen of the 18 year-old: "I have followed him for exactly a year. First, he got to play more and more in Milan's U18 team and got more playing time throughout last year. He has since developed and done well.
"He has had a great start in Primavera. It is a good opportunity for us to see him in our environment.
"The main quality I have stuck with is that he gets to the situations where you can score goals and finishing situations, he is good at that. He is good at getting into the penalty area and into what we call the goal zone."
