Aquilani Offers Sensi Backing

Former AC Milan midfielder Alberto Aquilani believes Stefano Sensi would be an excellent addition to the Rossoneri this month. The 23-year-old has been impressing with his performances in Serie A this season and it’s thought Milan are ready to make a move for the talented playmaker.
Having previously played with Sensi at Sassuolo, Aquilani is fully aware for the youngster’s talents and feels he would be a good addition to Gennaro Gattuso’s squad. “The right man for Milan? I would say yes because Stefano is young and has great prospects. In the last months, he has grown a lot. He reminds me of Verratti for the way he plays. Both regista (defensive midfielder) and mezzala (playmaker)? Exactly. He can play in both roles in the middle of the field,” he told Gazzetta dello Sport. “As a regista, he has a very good vision of building the game, even if there is a lack of physicality. Otherwise, if one wants to build a team devoted to dribbling, he is ideal as an internal midfielder. “Stefano is very polite and an easy-going guy, with his head on his shoulders. What struck me was his attention to the advice I gave him in training. He often ran a bit uselessly and then I suggested him the position to make the most out of his characteristics.”
