Italian Serie A club Inter Milan have said they will only release Ebenezer Akinsanmiro to the Flying Eagles for the U20 World Cup a week to the big kick-off.
The former Remo Stars midfielder has been included on the Flying Eagles 55-man provisional squad to the U20 World Cup.
“Inter have said they will only release the boy on May 13, which is just a week to the start of the World Cup,” an official informed SCORENigeria
“The team want him to come in much earlier and we will continue to impress this on his club.”
Team officials have identified Akinsanmiro as the player to solve the lack of creativity in the Flying Eagles midfield.
He has shone with the Inter U19s after the Spanish club splashed out about a Million Dollars to sign him directly from Remo Stars.
The Flying Eagles are also battling to secure the release of another exciting youngster, Victor Eletu, from Italian club AC Milan.
Let them get Ebenezer on time. He is very crucial. I was happy he was called up.
