Inter Milan have snapped up Ghanaian prodigy, Mike Aidoo, from fellow Italian side, Chievo Verona.

Aidoo is a 16-year old who was birthed in Italy to Ghanaian parents and has been playing in the Chievo youth system for some time.

He played and excelled in the U-15 side and earned a promotion to the U-17 side where he caught the attention of major European sides with his exceptional performances.

Aidoo usually plays as a right-back and occasionally as a right-winger because of his explosive nature.

The player who joins Italian champions, Inter Milan, will hope to work his way to the top from the Inter Milan Primavera side very soon.

After putting up superb performances for Chievo in the Primavera League, he was invited to the Italy U-16 national team for the Centro Coni Tirrenia in Marina di Pisa in June this year.

Earlier YEN.com.gh reported that new Black Stars invitee, Kelvin Yeboah, has received a call up from the U-21 coach of Italy, Paolo Nicolato, for the Euro u-21 qualifiers next month.

The 21-year-old forward had earlier been invited by the national team of Ghana for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers against Ethiopia and South Africa in September.

However, a list released on the Italian football federation's website revealed the Ghanaian-born is part of the Azzurri's U-21 team for the games against Luxemburg and Montenegro.

Kelvin Yeboah chooses Italy over Ghana

Kelvin Yeboah has made a decision to represent the Italy U-21 side rather than Ghana's Black Stars.

Yeboah was invited as part of Black Stars coach CK Akonnor's 30-man provisional squad earlier in August but seems to have been swayed by the Azzuri U-21s.

Yeboah was named in the Italy U-21 squad for their upcoming European U-21 qualifiers with Luxembourg and Montenegro.
