Palermo youngster Andrea Belotti admits he used to idolize former AC Milan star Andriy Shevchenko when he was growing up.
The Italy under 21 star completed his move to the Rosanero outright from Albinoleffe this week, and can’t wait to face Hellas Verona this week.
“It will be nice to face off against [Luca]Tonithis week,we will have to watch out for him,” Belotti told Sky Sport Italia.
“I’m certainly faster than him,but each playerhas their own characteristics.
“Iam inspired bygreat strikerslike Fernando Torres, [Sergio] Aguero, [Carlos] Tevezand [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic.I can learn muchfromTorresnow that he isinItaly.
“Shevchenkohas always beenmy idol though, for his humilityand the abilityto scoreinevery way possible.”
