Another decidedly positive performance from young talent Sankhoun Diawara, who was handed a starting place in his first derby against Inter. He certainly did not look out of place, despite Djed Spence making several runs down his side in the first half.
Diawara quickly wins over the fans:
The young French defender held his own and remained on the pitch for almost the entire match, being substituted only in the closing minutes and receiving applause from the San Siro stands.
This morning, the former Troyes player took to his social media channels to share his emotions following the derby victory against Inter. Here is the message shared by the young French defender: "A special evening, happy to have experienced it wearing this shirt. FORZA MILAN."
Initially, Diawara's signing seemed to be intended for Milan Futuro, but his level was high and certainly not that of Serie D. It was Amorim who wanted him to join the senior team, writes Calciomercato.com. The French defender, born in 2006, arrived from Troyes for €3 million and signed a five-year contract until 2031.
