Benfica scouts watch Serie A clash, De Rossi’s player on the Eagles’ radar | OneFootball

Benfica was represented at the Italian League match between Genoa and Bologna last weekend, with an eye on signing Jeff Ekhator, one of the great promises of the team coached by Daniele de Rossi, which is currently 13th in Serie A.

The 19-year-old, an international for the youth teams of the Italian national team, was observed by scouts from the Eagles. According to journalist Nicolò Schira, the Eagles were present at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium and witnessed the home team's 3-2 victory.

The forward started the match and ended up leaving the field at the 55th minute. The goals for "I Rossoblu" were scored by Ruslan Malinovskiy, a teammate of Anatoliy Trubin and Georgiy Sudakov in the Ukrainian national team, by Caleb Ekuban, and by the Brazilian forward Junior Messias.

This season, wearing the Genoa jersey, Jeff Ekhator — valued at 7 million euros — has already played 20 official matches for the Italian club: 18 in Serie A and two in the Italian Cup. In the 576 minutes he was on the field, the striker scored three goals.
