Premier League opinion – Scout report of Liverpool and Man City target Sebastiano Esposito

City’s main title rivals Liverpool are also interested in the player. The Reds’ Academy has been impressed by what they saw of the youngster, and just like the Cityzens, they are also contemplating making a move this summer. (h/t Express)

Esposito scored four times in the recently-concluded Euro U-17 competition, where his nation finished the runners-up to the Netherlands. His current contract at Inter is alive until 2021, only because of Italian rules, which limits the U-17 players to only three-year contracts. (h/t Express)
