Inter Sign ‘New Giovinco’
Inter Milan have completed the signing of highly rated young Foligno striker Stefano Giacomelli, a player who has been dubbed as the ‘new Sebastian Giovinco’.
The 18-year-old Giacomelli is described as one of the most explosive young talents from Serie C1, and last season he just missed on promotion into Serie B when Foligno lost in a playoff to Cittadella.
Giacomelli is part of the Italy Under-19 setup, and he has already been labelled by some as the ‘new Sebastian Giovinco’, in reference to the Juventus starlet.
Just like Giovinco, Giacomelli is not blessed with the greatest physique, and indeed he is just 1.65m tall, and weighs only 65kg.
This has not deterred Inter though, who have moved to snap up the highly rated young forward. The Nerazzurri have secured the loan services of the teenager, with the later option of full ownership.
"This transfer demonstrates once again the excellent work done in recent years by the youth sector of the Biancazzurro," read a club statement from Foligno last week, when talk of the transfer first hit the press.
The signing of the ‘new Giovinco’ for Inter follows on from the purchase of another promising youngster who also has a reference to bitter rivals Juventus; striker Jago Del Piero, who was snapped up from Treviso.
