Real, Juventus, Roma, Benfica, Sassuolo and a couple of English clubs wanted him, but the Nigerian midfielder chose Inter and waited before he was of age, then until the penultimate day of the winter market to be registered. Born in 2004, he has been training with Primavera for a few days: sporting director Ausilio and his deputy Baccin have been following him since the last Viareggio tournament in which he was elected best player
Everything can be said about Ebenezer Akinsanmiro except that he didn’t wait for his dream to come true. The eighteen-year-old Nigerian strongly wanted to wear the Inter shirt and, after almost a year of waiting, he signed the agreement that will bind him to the viale della Liberazione club for four years. During the week he returned from Nigeria, where he had gone to obtain a residence visa in Italy, and started training with the Primavera. He will make his debut on Wednesday in Cagliari or on Sunday against Turin and, even if he was only in the stands to watch yesterday’s draw between Chivu’s team against Bologna, he had the smiling face of someone who feels that the much-awaited moment is about to arrive.
