Bologna defender Miguel Britos has impressed Uruguay Coach Oscar Tabarez this season and looks set to win his first cap for the Charruas.
The 23-year-old Britos is in his first season with Bologna and has become a cornerstone in their defence since joining the club in the summer.
The former Montevideo Wanderers youngster scored his first goal for Bologna on Saturday against League leaders Inter.
“I have been following him for a while,” Tabarez told Uruguay daily newspaper Stadio. “But I don't want to put any pressure on him.
“We already have excellent defenders like Diego Lugano, Gerardo Alcoba and Diego Godin,” the former Cagliari and Milan boss revealed.
“Britos is a player with personality. If you watch how he moves, how he defends, you see that he is destined to become a great defender.”
Britos has appeared in Bologna's last three games and after a period of adjustment is establishing himself as a regular in Sinisa Mihajlovic's side.
