He was included in the senior squad full-time at the beginning of this campaign and played his first Serie A match on August 24 against Hellas Verona, where Massimilano Allegri's men were handed a 2-1 defeat.
Speaking he says "I spoke with [Antonio] Nocerino and [Giampaolo] Pazzini," Petagna told Tuttomercatoweb. "They both advised me to choose Sampdoria.
"They spoke well of boss Delio Rossi and I'm really happy. Now I want to feature as much as I can with the Doria jersey." he added.
