Houssem Aouar says he's enjoyed his first Roma preseason.
The midfielder has arrived from Olympique Lyon this summer.
He told Il Corriere dello Sport: "Certainly (Paulo) Dybala's talent is special, you see it in any training session. But Lorenzo (Pellegrini) himself, or (Stephan) El Shaarawy do incredible numbers."
On the prospect of leaving midseason for the African Cup of Nations, Aouar added: "I'm just saying that I'm proud to represent Algeria.
"And I'm sure that Roma, who have a competitive squad, will be able to give me up for a few weeks."
