Inter Milan youth chief Samaden: Odgaard like Ibrahimovic; Colidio great coup

Inter Milan youth chief Roberto Samaden says they're excited by the progress of Jens Odgaard.

The young Danish striker moved to Inter last summer from Lyngby.

"He is an attacker of great physique, but also is very technical," said Samaden.

"So he is an atypical player because he is also very fast, he has an important future ahead of him. For certain characteristics, even if the comparison is very risky, I'd say (Zlatan) Ibrahimovic."

On Argentine whiz Facundo Colidio, he added: "For those who know youth football knows that he was followed by many Italian and foreign clubs.

"(Piero) Ausilio does a great job not only for the first team, but also to bring home players that we ask for. Colidio was known by everyone and then here the difference was made by the club and management."
