Nigerian youngster Ebenezer Akinsanmiro makes bright start to life at Sampdoria
Ebenezer Akinsanmiro, the 19-year-old Nigerian midfielder, is making a notable impact in Serie A with Sampdoria after joining on a season-long loan from Inter Milan.
Akinsanmiro has hit the ground running since his move to Sampdoria, making a strong debut in the Coppa Italia. His performance in the match against newly-promoted Como was particularly notable, where he was the most fouled player on the pitch, won the most duels, and achieved an impressive passing accuracy of 81%.
The young talent’s move to Sampdoria marks a significant step in his career. Last season, Akinsanmiro made his Serie A debut for Inter Milan, and his rapid ascent continued with a Coppa Italia victory. He became only the third Nigerian player to win the Coppa Italia, following in the footsteps of Obafemi Martins and Joel Obi.
Akinsanmiro’s early performances for Sampdoria have earned him rave reviews and suggest that he is poised for a bright future. With his technical skill and maturity, he is quickly establishing himself as one of Europe’s most exciting young prospects.
If his strong start is any indication, Ebenezer Akinsanmiro is set to make a significant impact at Sampdoria and continue his impressive development in European football.
