🐣 Young talent of the week: Pio Esposito 🇮🇹 | OneFootball

As every week, OneFootball shines a spotlight on a young talent whose progress can no longer go unnoticed. This time, we head to Milan, where Pio Esposito is living up to the enormous expectations placed on him in an Inter shirt.

Trained at the Nerazzurri youth academy, the 20-year-old Italian striker climbed through all the ranks of the club before gaining experience on loan at La Spezia, where he stood out for his eye for goal and consistency. This formative experience allowed him to return to Inter with a different status.

This 2025-2026 season, Esposito has gradually established himself as a credible attacking option within the Inter squad.

Used both as a substitute and in the starting eleven, he scored his first goals in Serie A, while also making decisive contributions in domestic and European competitions.

His impact was immediate, bringing a new dynamic to the Milanese attack.

With an impressive build (1.91m), the young center-forward stands out for his ability to put pressure on defenses, play with his back to goal, and quickly move towards the opposition’s goal.

His all-round profile allows him to fit effectively into Inter’s playing system and complement more experienced strikers.

On the international stage, Esposito is also continuing his progress. A regular with Italy’s youth teams, he is part of the new generation expected to embody the future of the Squadra Azzurra.

Still in the learning phase, Pio Esposito is nevertheless moving through the ranks with confidence. At just 20 years old, he is no longer simply a prospect for the future, but a player capable of influencing the present and establishing himself long-term in the rotation of a club aiming for the top.
