Legendary Inter defender Cristian Chivu has sang the praises of Inter teen sensation Sebastiano Esposito and revealed that he would have liked to have come up against him.
“He is young and still has a lot to learn. He has the opportunity to do it in a team of professionals of the highest level. I would have liked to play against him. It is no coincidence that he is already in the first team at Inter,” he remarked in an interview with Performance Training Studio via Instagram.
The 17-year-old striker has had a bit of a breakthrough this season at first team level with thanks to Antonio Conte who has shown a lot of trust in him.
Multiple reports in the media as of late have suggested that Inter are preparing to tie him down to the club for the foreseeable future with a five year professional contract when he turns 18-years-old at the beginning of July.
This season the Italian youth international has made 14 appearances across all competitions to date, in which he has scored four goals and tallied a single assist. 11 of the appearances have come for the first team as has one of the goals.
