Palermo defender Emerson has likened himself to Porto full-back Alex Sandro.

The 20 year-old, who is on loan from Santos, also notes that Robinho and Felipe Anderson convinced him to move to Serie A this summer.

“I am not afraid of Serie A, as this is a challenge that really intrigues me,” he said, as reported by Football Italia. 

“My reference point in football terms is Alex Sandro, my former teammate who is now at Porto.

“I also spoke to Robinho and Felipe Anderson, who told me playing in Italy is marvellous.”
