Playing at the Under-19 level, he has scored a total of fifteen goals.
In addition, there are no longer any questions about Esposito’s readiness for the senior game on a physical level.
The tall, strong striker looks as though he’ll be able to hold his own in the senior game.

According to TMW, the club where Esposito will join on loan for the upcoming season is Spezia.
Last season, the Ligurians were relegated from Serie A after three seasons in the top flight.

Spezia are aiming to make signings to adjust to life in the second division. And Esposito is looking for his first opportunity at the senior level.
The 18-year-old will also join his older brother Salvatore, who made the switch from SPAL to Spezia last season.
