Italy coach Antonio Conte thinks surprise package Sampdoria have developed players who could go on to make the grade for the Azzurri.
The Genoese side sit fifth in Serie A at the moment having lost only one game all season.
Conte’s side will play a friendly game in Genoa in order to raise money for those affected by the recent flooding.
“We will be in Genoa with the national side,” he indicated to TuttoMercatoWeb.com. “To lend a hand to people who have had a lot of problems, and for that reason we expect many people to visit the stadium.”
He went on to admit that he was impressed with Sinisa Mihaijlovic’s charges so far this season.
“I’m happy for [Samp],” he revealed. “They have an important policy of investing in young players and they have some interesting players that we are considering.”
Conte’s side will meet Croatia in their next game in Milan before travelling to Genoa to face Albania.
