Sampdoria's sporting director Beppe Marotta has hailed the start that striker Giampaolo Pazzini has made to his time in Genoa.

The 24-year-old has scored five times in seven Serie A outings since his January arrival from Fiorentina, while also finding the net twice in the 3-0 midweek Coppa Italia semi-final first leg win over Internazionale.

Marotta told Rai Sport: "I really think Pazzini's value has already doubled in his time here.

"I'm not surprised that he is doing so well here, we always knew what great potential he had.

"He is also a player who has a lot of room for improvement, so I am confident that he can score even more goals."
