Sassuolo coach Roberto de Zerbi has no doubts about Inter Milan midfielder Stefano Sensi.

De Zerbi coached Sensi at Sassuolo before the Italy international joined Inter in a €20m deal in 2019.

"Stefano is a player I'm in love with. When he joined Sassuolo, I thought he was a game organizer," De Zerbi told Bobo TV.

"Instead, more than Xavi, he reminds me of Andres Iniesta. I think he has some similar characteristics.

"He was playing as a mezzala in his first season at Sassuolo because Boateng was the centre forward and he was not one who ran into open spaces," De Zerbi explained.

"Sensi has so much quality, but he's had many injuries over the last two years. The guy is a hard worker and has no limits, injuries permitting."
