Sassuolo prospect Justin Kumi has received high praise from the head of the club's youth sector Francesco Palmieri for his conduct as a young footballer.

Palmieri described Kumi as a brilliant and very polite boy in Italian football magazine, La Giovane Italia.

"Justin is a Brilliant and very polite boy. In these three years we've had the pleasure of having him in boarding school and seeing him grow.

''And I must say that he's been appreciated by everyone both on and off the pitch.

"He's a player of great physical impact and also very good in the realisation phase. He must refined himself technically and improve the speed of thinking and execution."

Kumi, 16, has been selected by the La Giovane Italia magazine as one of the stars of the future in Italy's youth leagues.

His artistery has earned comparison with Inter Milan midfielder Nicola Barella.

The list also included AC Milan's Daniel Maldini the son of Milan legend Paolo Maldini and Emmanuel Gyabuua Manu who plays for Atalanta in the Primavera division.
