"I'm not Messi or Cristiano, but I hope to reach their level"

Kean has revealed his secret on how he has become one of the most exciting talents in Italy. "It's hard work. It's all I need to help me demonstrate that I deserve to be in the team every weekend", he said after the match to 'Sky'.

And the youngster knows that he is not yet on the level of Ronaldo and Messi. "I am not a Cristiano Ronaldo nor a Messi, but I hope that one day, with hard work, I will be able to get to their level", he explained.

Kean hs shown himself to be a good substitute for Portuguese legend Ronaldo this season, recently scoring a double against Udinese, and now a double against Empoli. 

At just 19 years and 31 days old, he is the youngest player to reach eight goals in Serie A since Mario Balotelli in 2009, who did it aged 18 years and 242 days. 

He has also succeeded at international level, scoring against Finland and Lietchenstein for Italy.
