Atalanta Midfielder Matteo Pessina Gets A Special Delivery From PornHub

Atalanta midfielder Matteo Pessina has received a special delivery from PornHub after his antics on the first day of pre-season.

Last month, the former AC Milan man returned to training with a PornHub bag which appears to contain signatures of several famous pornstars and made a monumental impact on the internet.

Just under a month on and the 22-year old has clearly caught the adult site's eye as they have gifted him a whole PornHub goody bag - made up of accessories such as t-shirt and hats.

Pessina, who thanked PornHub for the special delivery on his Instagram, is genuinely not far off being an ambassador for the brand.

His next step will be to try and get Pornhub to sponsor Atalanta. It's unlikely, but porn sites have graced the front of football kits before.

Over in America, a deal with RedTube and Washington Squire FC was wrapped up in August 2016, with the adult site having their logo emblazoned on the club's kit.

Formed in 2013, the RedTube arrangement actually came about from the drunken thoughts of a few of the club's players, and eventually it all came to fruition.

"The thought came from one of our former players, Jaime Skelton, a forward for us came from Union College and played there for four years, and has now moved to New York to do creative writing for big time shows,"club captain and Bayern Munich fan Jon Klippert said.

"He and I were slightly intoxicated one night with a few other players and we were joking about getting sponsored by a Porn Company.

"We thought it would be funny but also Jaime has a great talent for writing and is one for great wit. So, he crafted a letter then he and I did some edits, took a screenshot and sent it to RedTube's Twitter.

"Here is where we met Emma, who runs their social media account and as soon as it went up, we got over 50 likes and are still getting more.

"She DM'd us and I spoke with here about what would be in the details of the agreement. She was awesome and really helpful and to be honest, I still can't believe it happened."
