Player Analysis: Wilfred Singo

Youth versus experience. A team near the bottom of the league table against a team fighting near the top end. Inter should have defeated Torino comprehensively when the two sides faced each other in Serie A recently but it was a struggle for the Nerazzurri.

One of the unlikely battles that took place during the match was between the experienced English defender/midfielder Ashley Young for the Biscione and Ivorian starlet Wilfried Singo for the Granata. The 19-year-old was brought into the Torino starting line-up, and despite the Torinese club losing 4-2 to Inter in their Week 8 encounter, he played an excellent match at right wing-back and was not overwhelmed by facing the former Manchester United footballer.

When Singo left AS Denguélé from Odienné in the Ivory Coast in January 2019, then-Granata sporting director Gianluca Petrachi signed the right-back for the Toro youth team, but the youngster has played well for the senior squad whenever the opportunity has arisen.

The Ivorian Under-20 international was given his Torino primavera debut by manager Federico Coppitelli in the 2019 Viareggio Cup, where he played in all four matches and performed in a number of different positions in defense.
