Malik Faissal scored on his European Challenge Cup debut earlier this season for Zebre against Montauban
Prem leaders Northampton Saints have signed Italian winger Malik Faissal to bolster their squad for next season.
The 20-year-old will move to Franklin's Gardens from Zebre, having scored two tries in seven senior appearances for the Parma-based outfit so far.
Faissal has played 10 games for Italy's Under-20 team in the U20s Six Nations over the past two seasons, scoring three tries in two matches against England.
"Malik looks like a very well-rounded player, with some x-factor to his athleticism too. He's got speed and the ability to win the ball in the air, which in today's game is a vital skill," said Saints director of rugby Phil Dowson.
