Sebastian Giovinco beleives he is "back in the race" for a spot in Antonio Conte's Italy side at the European Championship this summer, and has his stellar performances with Toronto FC to thank for it.
Giovinco made a surprising decision to leave four-time defending Serie A champ Juventus for a lucrative MLS move last season.
Since arriving in North America, the midfielder, who had been resigned to a secondary role at the Turin club, has taken MLS by storm, setting the league's single-season record for goals and assists in 2015.
Conte has taken notice of the 29-year-old's displays for Toronto.
