🐣 Young player of the week: Pio Esposito 🇮🇹

As every week, OneFootball highlights a young talent whose progress is no longer going unnoticed. This time, we head to Milan, where Pio Esposito is living up to the huge expectations placed on him under the Inter jersey.

Trained at the Nerazzurri's youth academy, the 20-year-old Italian forward has climbed all the ranks of the club before gaining experience on loan at Spezia, where he stood out for his goal-scoring ability and consistency. This formative experience allowed him to return to Inter with a different status and increased credibility.

This 2025-2026 season, Esposito has gradually established himself as a credible offensive option within the Inter squad. Used both off the bench and in the starting eleven, he has scored his first goals in Serie A, while proving decisive in national and European competitions. His impact was immediate, bringing a new dynamic to Milan's attack.

With an impressive build (1.91m), the young center-forward stands out for his ability to weigh on defenses, play with his back to the goal, and quickly project towards the opponent's goal. A complete profile, which allows him to integrate effectively into Inter's playing system and complement the more experienced forwards.

On the international stage, Esposito is also continuing his progress. Regular with the young Italian selections, 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 confidently crossing milestones. At only 20 years old, he is no longer just a bet for the future, but a player capable of influencing the present and establishing himself sustainably in the rotation of a club aiming for the top.
