Akinsamiro from Remo signs for four years with Inter

Maybe One of the most shocking deadline day moves, Remo Stars midfielder, Ebenezer Akinsanmiro, completed a move to Italian giant, Inter Milan, from the Nigeria Professional Football League side on Tuesday.

An academy product of Remo, the 18-year-old signed a four-year contract with the Serie A club, beating competition from Real Madrid, Benfica and Hammarby to secure his signature.

Remo confirmed the move on their website on Tuesday: “Midfielder Ebenezer Akinsanmiro has completed his move to Italian giants Inter Milan from Remo Stars. The teenager, who is an academy product of the club, has signed a four-year contract. He was part of the team that helped Remo Stars get promoted from the Nigeria National League to the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) in the 2020/2021 season,” the club statement said.

Akinsanmiro played a prominent role for the academy team, Beyond Limits, in The Creative Championship and Viareggio Cup World Football Tournament.

He also played for the club in the 2022 NPFL season as they finished third and played on the continent.

In March 2022, Akinsanmiro caught the attention of Inter scouts during the Viareggio Cup Academy tournament in Italy and immediately after the tournament, he signed a provisional contract with Inter and returned to Nigeria.

A scout, who follows Akinsamiro closely, took to his Twitter page at @Halis9723 to describe the player’s qualities.

“He can take the ball between the lines at the right angle, static or mobile, and the time to turn his face to the opponent’s pitch is at a very good level. He often suffers from balance problems due to weakness in the lower body. This young boy from Remo Stars is appreciated,” Halis tweeted in February 2022.

It is clear that the player will join Inter’s youth squad.
