Description:
Edoardo Vergani is one of the most talented forwards in Italy. In 2014, Internazionale – the club he has supported since childhood – spotted his potential and invited him to join their youth academy from Monza 1912. He is a part of a fantastic generation of young Inter forwards, which includes Andrea Pinamonti, Davide Merola, Jens Odgaard and Facundo Colidio. Edoardo is also a regular Italian youth international, having been capped at the U-15, U-16, and U-17 levels – he earned 36 caps and scored 22 goals so far – which is quite impressive for a 17-year old.
