Linton Johnson will get the Italian passport

Linton Johnson will soon get the Italian passport.

The American big man of Scandone Avellino will marry an Italian girl on March 21.

Johnson hopes to have the Italian citizenship from the upcoming season even if, according to the Italian law, it will be impossible to get the document so early (Jarrius Jackson who just got the Italian passport had to wait 14 months from the wedding before getting it). In an interview with Il Mattino, Johnson said that re-signing with Avellino is his first choice.
