Comment

A Up and Coming Striker from Inter Milan, he is only 21, has not been given much first team action due to Ronaldo being Inter's first choice Striker, He is usually is on the bench, but is always ready to hit the back of the net when called upon. He came on as a substitute in the 2nd half of the Champions League game against Manchester United, and terorised their defence, and looked sharp and very pacy Reports say he is very quick, has upper body strength, and very good infront of goal, he seems to be tailored made for the rigours of the Premiership. It appears from the media sources in Italy that Inter have agreed a fee with Chelsea for the Player, reportedly £10 Million, but he has said that he does'nt want to leave Serie A, Luca Vialli has travelled to Italy to try to get Ventola to sign,leaving Colin Hutchinson at home, Luca hoping that his credibility as one of Italy's greatest Players can persuade the young Italian to come to Stamford Bridge, but the problem is he is also being chased by both Juventus and Bologna, Juventus being the favourites. "Lets Hope Luca can pull it off"
