Sassuolo signing Andrea Pinamonti: I didn't have chance at Inter Milan

Andrea Pinamonti is happy to have signed for Sassuolo.

The striker joins from Inter Milan, which do not hold a buyout clause.

“I am happy to be here, Sassuolo have chased me for a long time and I am proud of it. They gamble on young players and I think this spell can give me a lot," Pinamonti said at his unveiling press conference.

“My target is to equal what I did last season and try to do even more."

Pinamonti scored 13 goals in 37 appearances while on loan at Empoli last season.

“I will forever thank Inter because it's the club that welcomed me when I was 14," the striker continued.

“I have no regrets, it's a fact that I didn't have a chance there, but I have no hard feelings. Being here can be a step toward a top team, but I don't think about it, we'll see in the future.

“Targeting the national team is crucial for a player aiming to the top. It's an important target and I want to continue what I did last season to have a chance to get to the national team."
