Juventus winger Matias Soule admits Italy coach Luciano Spalletti spoke directly with him about committing to the Azzurri.

On-loan with Frosinone, Soule is now in the plans of Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni.

On meeting with Spalletti, he told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "Enough, we talked about it in person when he came in person when he came to Frosinone.

"I was nervous, you know, at my age these aren't everyday things. And he understood it, he was really good."

Regarding his childhood idol, Soulé also declared: "As a child I liked El Kun Aguero. Then (Eden) Hazard when he was at Chelsea."
