I wanted to post this and saw the lad had no thread. He is in amongst the senior squad at Inter now

"ZEFI THE IRISHMAN BREXIT GAVE TO INTER"

"With the Under 18 team he has already scored 6 goals in 3 matches (poker in the last match against Spal) and Chivu now always calls him up for the Primavera. English teams could only register him at the age of 18 and the Nerazzurri played in advance


Dominate with his peers, as happens in neighborhood teams when one boy is clearly stronger than the others. And then he moves the bar further, it couldn't be otherwise. The Under 18 numbers of Kevin Zefi, an Inter talent born in 2005, speak for themselves: three league games, six goals scored."

He is in amongst the senior squad at Inter now
Looks very very promising now for the kid. You always worry he would fall away but he is kicking well clear of his underage team and can't be that long til he is on bench or getting minutes if he keeps pushing. I would love him Moran and Ferguson especially to fulfill their full potential. We don;t have many like them in profile at all.

Sounds very promising indeed. Although I must admit the translation is shocking. What’s the source ? I’m surprised Zefi doesn’t have his own thread

Gazzeta.it. You need a subscription to read the full article so didn't bother obviously and yeah Google butchers all but the jist of it. There are a few articles floating around about him being more and more prominent there.

Another hattrick after 2 goals last week. Way to good for his level. I am def concerned Inter will destroy his progression. Thry don't give youth a chance at all. He should leave if he doesn't get one soon to a ckub that will get him playing senior football.

Just hope he's playing in the upcoming U19 games as I'll be at a couple of them in Ferrycarrig Park.

Funny I was just about to post this. Zefi has plenty time wouldn’t panic just yet. 

The comments are quite funny loads of lads joking about “selling him to fund the salary of a 35yo” LOL 

Seems to be highly rated.

Here's a few twitter comments translated by google
- George Best's Irish heir, had he been born in Northern Ireland he would have been the reincarnation
- No, it should at least be taken to train with the first one, in the end it has the same age as the coals, 
but for me it is even stronger
- Serie B next year and then first team. Before they put him in a negotiation for some pimp from Atalanta
- It should be put on a permanent basis in the spring with training sessions and potentially even appearances 
with the first team but seeing how young players are managed, none of this will happen

Was playing first-team football with adults in Shamrock Rovers a couple of years ago. 

Now he's playing with children.  

How many of the 60-odd Academy products that Inter have ever makes a first-team appearance?  

I'm guessing maybe 1 every four years' worth. 

Not great odds for development at a club like that. 

Wasn't Ryan Nolan the pick of the bunch and captain for their academy (primavera team) not so long ago?

He was, but wasn't his career severely impacted by injuries?

Famously Italy doesn’t produce decent footballers.

Inter have a bad reputation for getting players through their academy. 
There is a pretty decent spread on what clubs there internatiinals come through. So not as simple as conflating Inter with Italy.

look and compare the results of italian clubs in UYL over the past 6/7 years. italian underage is poor , most of the players are moved to b teams pretty early in their development. zefi looks like a great talent but he has to be wary of inters pathway. hopefully a way out of the 19s is drawn up for him if this form keeps up.

Id be fairly sure that Inter or any other Italian club are not ignoring talents in their underage set ups? Im sure if they are good enough they break through. Or are loaned out and play at different levels wherever that might be.

He failed get a look in at Serie C level before being free agent for a bit til surprising move to Getafe. It was there he picked up injury day before his supposed debut. He flopped badly before that. Can’t blame injury for his demise

They have talents. Plenty.. none get a chance for quite a few years. Lots of them leave at around Zefis age or younger. That is why you have fans like the posts above movking the club and ownership. Presuming top clubs are bastions of youth production is  a mistake. Zefi far better off moving to a Brighton than a top club academy.
