AC Milan striker, Stephan El Shaarawy, has admitted that the departures of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Antonio Cassano in the summer, have given him the platform to shine at the Italian club.
The 20-year-old, who has scored 12 times in 15 appearances already, has become one of the hottest properties in Italy.
“With the departures of Ibrahimovic and Cassano, two great strikers left and I’ve more space now. I started the season in the best way possible personally; I grew a lot,” El Shaarawy told the official Uefa website.
El Shaarawy was also full of appreciation for Massimiliano Allegri, who kept faith in him, ever since he arrived at the club in 2011.
“I felt a lot of faith from his side, especially last season when I made 28 appearances,” he said.
“This year I’ve felt even more faith, because the first two matches in Serie A didn’t go well and he still continued to pick me. I have to thank him a lot for that.”
