“He’s a very talented prospect. He now has experience with the first team. He’s a young talent who certainly has a big future. This was a season of great growth for him. He stayed at Inter so that he could train and work,” the Italian said in quotes revealed by Tutto Mercato Web.

Despite featuring sparingly for Inter’s senior team, Akinsanmiro has had a good season in the Primavera 1 league, scoring six goals and recording two assists in 23 games for the club’s U-19 side.
