AC Milan captain Massimo Ambrosini revealed he has forked out for wonderkid Stephan El Shaarawy to go on holiday over Christmas as a reward for his sensational form this season.
The 20-year-old striker has helped ease the pain of Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s summer exit by firing his way to the top of Serie A’s scoring charts with 14 goals, and his impact has certainly not gone unnoticed on veteran midfielder Ambrosini.
‘El Shaarawy has gone on vacation on my expense, but he deserves it,’ said the 35-year-old.
Ambrosini also insisted that the rise of the man dubbed ‘the Pharaoh’, due to his Egyptian father, shows the Rossoneri have no need to recruit the likes of Mario Balotelli when the transfer window re-opens in January.
‘El Shaarawy is a better player than Balotelli,’ he added.
‘He has surprised me a lot, even though I was aware of his qualities. But he shouldn’t get satisified.
‘El Shaarawy is young and intelligent, but he must not only be a goalscorer. He needs to get more involved in our play.’
