Calcio and Poland legend Zbigniew Boniek believes Genoa striker Krzysztof Piatek ‘has everything to succeed’ at Milan.

Piatek should complete his move to Milan on Wednesday, replacing Chelsea-bound Gonzalo Higuain at San Siro, and Boniek backed his countryman to ‘make the step-up’ and handle the pressure.

“I divide players into two categories: those who want to earn money in their careers and those who want to play football. Piatek belongs to the second category,” the Polish football chief told Gazzetta dello Sport.

“I divide players into two categories: those who want to earn money in their careers and those who want to play football. Piatek belongs to the second category,” the Polish football chief told Gazzetta dello Sport.

“He has everything to succeed. He’s a good lad, intelligent and he’s advised well. In addition, he has a woman beside him, Paulina, who gives him the right balance, and that helps him make the right decisions.

“Pressure? No, for me Piatek is someone who can play for any team in the world. He won’t struggle to make the step-up, I’m sure of it.

“Of course, no-one says anything if you don’t score for 2-3 games at Genoa but maybe at Milan they’ll put you on a timer. Still, he’ll be able to adapt.”
