Inter Milan & Italy Starlet Close To Joining Elite Company In Serie A Goalscoring Record Books | OneFootball

Pio Esposito is one goal away from etching his name alongside some of Inter Milan’s most celebrated young talents, with the Italy starlet on the verge of a milestone that only four players in the club’s history have reached in the modern era.

The 2005-born forward has scored four Serie A goals this season in what has been a breakthrough campaign of remarkable maturity.

Indeed, particularly given that he was playing in Serie B with Spezia just twelve months ago.

One more strike would place him in exclusive company, as noted by FCInterNews.

In the three-points-for-a-win era, only Nicola Ventola, Obafemi Martins, Mario Balotelli and Mateo Kovacic have scored five or more Serie A goals for Inter before turning 21.

The names alone underline the significance of the feat.

Martins and Balotelli are among the most naturally gifted forwards the club has ever produced at youth level, while Kovacic went on to become one of Europe’s finest midfielders.

For Esposito to be approaching their company at the same age speaks volumes about the season he is having.

And, indeed, about the trajectory of a career that is only just beginning.

With ten league games remaining, the opportunity to reach the landmark and write another chapter in what is already a remarkable debut season at the top level is very much alive.
