The 22-year-old striker has caused controversy because of an image he shared on social media and he appeared to make a military salute.

The Roma player has played two matches this season and has scored, but the fans are speaking about him for all the wrong reasons.

A photo he uploaded has created a wave of criticism because he is seen making a military salute, as well as putting 3 Turkish flags.

This has got to do with Turkey's invasion of Syria and it hasn't gone down so well with Roma's fans.

Messages such as "with this post, you don't represent the club" and "our shirt isn't a political vehicle" can be seen.
