Juventus coach Antonio Conte believes that Emanuele Giaccherini can secure a place in the Italy squad for Euro 2012.
The summer signing from Cesena has been one of the club's most impressive performers in recent weeks, and his displays have not gone unnoticed by his boss, who feels he is finally showcasing his true talents.
"He is a guy currently using his best weapon of dynamism to full effect, but he is also showing himself to be technically and tactically smart," Conte told Il Corriere dello Sport.
"This fills us with satisfaction, because sometimes it takes a foreign player and €30 million to make the same impact.
"I am convinced that he has the qualities to aspire to something more, and maybe in June he could get a surprise from [Italy coach] Cesare Prandelli," he concluded.
Juventus visit Bologna on Sunday, as they look to extend their 21-game unbeaten streak in Serie A.
