Former Roma coach Fabio Capello believes Nicolò Zaniolo has similarities to Milan legend Dejan Savicevic. "That's where his talent lies."

Capello was talking to the Corriere dello Sport newspaper about the Roma star, and believes he's matured over the last several months.

"Zaniolo has understood what it means to be an important player. His maturation is in process," said Capello.

The defender was initially supposed to bide his time and be eased into the first team, however the injury to Chiellini after the first game of the season catapulted the Dutchman straight into the side, alongside Leonardo Bonucci.
