Italian agent football agent, Oscar Damiani, has described Inter Milan’s young Nigerian midfielder Ebenezer Akinsanmiro as very intelligent.
On Sunday, Akinsanmiro made his senior debut for Inter in their 4-0 win at Lecce.

“He’s an interesting young guy,” Damiani told Italian news outlet FCInterNews via Sempre Inter.
“He’s very intelligent, a very good player. I met him at the tournament in Viareggio.”

“Congratulations to the Nerazzurri, who signed him. And to the player, who has been training and growing well. Then when you play with senior players, you can only grow. He’s got a lot of potential.”
Asked if it’s true that Real Madrid wanted to sign Akinsanmiro, Damiani said “A lot of clubs wanted him. But Inter are very good at working with young players.
“They really worked to convince him to join.”
