Nigerian youngster Ebenezer Akinsanmiro produced a masterful midfield performance as Pisa held Fiorentina to a goalless draw in their Serie A clash on Sunday.
On loan from Inter Milan, the 20-year-old commanded the heart of the pitch with composure and maturity well beyond his years. Akinsanmiro impressed with his vision, intelligent passing, and relentless ball recovery, earning him the Man of the Match award in what was a tense and hard-fought contest at the Arena Garibaldi.
Pisa, who relied heavily on the midfielder’s creativity and defensive discipline, successfully kept Fiorentina’s dangerous attacking unit at bay. His ability to dictate the tempo and break up play proved decisive in ensuring the Tuscan club walked away with a valuable point.
Beyond his club heroics, Akinsanmiro’s rise has not gone unnoticed at the international level. Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle is reportedly keeping close tabs on his development.
Sources suggest discussions have already taken place about monitoring the midfielder more closely, with a potential invitation to the national team in sight.
Known for his willingness to integrate emerging talents into the Super Eagles setup, Chelle could hand Akinsanmiro his long-awaited chance if the youngster maintains this level of performance. A breakthrough into the Nigerian national team now appears closer than ever for the gifted midfielder.
