AZ ALKMAAR flop Graziano Pelle seems to have taken tips from Ian "Italy was like living in a foreign country" Rush about life abroad.

The Italian has only bagged two goals since his £4m summer switch from Lecce and is refusing to pick up the local lingo.

He said: "AZ want me to learn Dutch but I won't do it. If I leave, what use will I have for the language?

"If AZ are not satisfied they need to sell me. Then you will see me scoring like mad."
