Career so far

The Wonderkid striker began his career with Inter Milan, where he quickly advanced through ranks. His last season at Youth Football made him scored 15 goals in 30 matches with three assists for the Inter U20 team. After clearly proven its quality, the striker seemed to find experience in professional football. This caused a move to the Spezia Serie B side in 2023 after they were relegated from the top of the previous season.

Last season saw him only registered three goals in 38 matches. This is a low calculation given his pedigree in young football, but he only made 17 starting with 1774 minutes, which showed he was not always trusted. Although he does not have clinical output, his strength is still displayed because he is in the top percentile in the league for touch in the opposition area and for the winning air duel. The second season for Aquilotti has seen a big increase so far.

In 19 matches, he has scored nine goals with One Assist, which made him the third in the race for the top scorer and fourth for the goal contribution. His team is now in third place in the league, which shows their progress after finishing 15 last season. In front of the goal is where the Italians have increased the most, but all -round games have also developed.

He was also impressed on the international stage because he had become a figure of the Italian youth arrangement in recent years. Since appearing for Italy U17, he has played in every age group for his people and has scored goals for each team. Esposito played a role on the Italian side that reached the U20 2023 World Cup final, while scoring goals during the group stage in other age groups.

Play style

Inter loan stands as high as six legs two inch, which gives him a framework to be a disturbance to the defenders and adjust well to playing professional football. This makes it a great target for any side he gets because he can hold the ball and win the header. The full skill is what distinguishes it from most young strikers because of strength, high and ability to the ball are some of the best for his age.

In front of the goal, he became deadly this season, which is an important part of increasing the amount. This is assisted by large instincts and movements in the penalty area, but also the high volume of opportunities. He averages 0.63 goals per 90, which is in the top percentile in the league, while having 3.51 shots per 90. High frames also allow him to be a threat of set piece when he uses his athletic to find nets. Domination in the air is further supported by an extraordinary number for the air duel when he averages wins 5.68 per 90.

The ball is also where he is in his best condition. Technically he is strong because he has a great and comfortable link game with his aim. This is the key because he often spreads wide games and brings others into attacks through his retaining game. The first touch that can be relied upon, with strong ball control and passing, allows it to always be an option for his party, especially in the development phase. This is also shown in its statistics this season. The touch in the opposition area is still high at 7.09 per 90 but the action of creation of its shots and progressive passing has increased significantly, which places it around 10% for the striker in this metric.

However, regardless of all of these forces on the ball, his defense skills are limited. This is emphasized through its defensive statistics which are quite weak, but also because the pressure is lacking at the career stage. In modern games, pressing from the front is the main responsibility for a striker as seen by the success of other attackers such as Dominic Solanke. This is the main limit of his current game and needs to be improved if he wants to be an option for the top team in Europe.

How he matches Inter

Recently it was revealed that Napoli, Ajax and Leicester City were interested in the signature of Wonderkids but interviewed this offer and said to see it as a future striker.

Inter is currently utilizing the striker’s partnership under Inzhagi, which is in accordance with the esposito style when he plays in the troops strikes of two people in Spezia. They also use the rear wing so that the game game, when spreading a wide ball will also work with Inter as Dimarco and Dumfries is a big part of the attack.

While out with loan status, the 19-year-old player on average only 0.56 brought progressive per 90, which shows his style does not include carrying the ball and more focused on his death. This is the key to Inter because they have been proven to have the least number of taking that is tried per game in the top five League Europe. Therefore, this shows that feeling comfortable by passing and returning to the destination is important in this system. In a connected clip, this shows that Lautaro Martinez dropped in and replaced the play out wide to Dumfries, which was shown by esposito that he was able to do.

Overall, Francesco Pio Esposito is the perfect choice for Inter Milan in the coming years because its strength is very suitable for their system. The more experience gained during loans this season and potential next season, it will be the main in him to be more consistent and even more complete.
