Akinsanmiro: Beyond Limits celebrate 19-year-old as 9th Nigerian to play for Inter Milan

Inter Milan's teenage prodigy Ebenezer Akinsanmiro made his eagerly anticipated first-team debut last night as the Nerazzurri cruised to a 4-0 away win against Lecce.

Pulse Sports Nigeria reports that this was a dream come true for the talented midfielder, who is the latest success story from Remo Stars’ famous academy, Beyond Limits FA.

The 19-year-old Nigerian starlet, who joined Inter's youth academy from Remo Stars in his homeland, was brought on with 14 minutes remaining at the Stadio Ettore for his first taste of Serie A action.

Akinsanmiro has been tipped for big things after some eye-catching performances for Inter's U19 side, and manager Simone Inzaghi decided to blood the young forward with the points already wrapped up last night.

It was a moment of pride for his former club, Beyond Limits, who took to social media to celebrate their graduate, who has settled impressively into life in Italy.

“Ebenezer Akinsanmiro becomes the ninth Nigerian player to have played at least one offici if last night is anything to go byal match for Inter Milan,” Beyond Limits posted on Twitter before their parent club, Remo Stars, added; “The first 👌 Here is to more appearances, Ebenezer Akinsanmiro.”

If last night is anything to go by, Inter could have unearthed their next Nigerian superstar. With illustrious compatriots like Nwankwo Kanu, Taribo West and Obafemi Martins having donned the famous black and blue jersey in years gone by, the path from Africa to stardom with the Nerazzurri is well-trodden.

He will hope that this brief cameo is the start of a long and successful career at one of European football's most iconic clubs.

Few would bet against the talented teen emulating their success after making an assured start to his career at the San Siro last night.
