Sassuolo star Kevin Prince Boateng admits he was shocked by the quality of teammate Stefano Sensi after his summer move to the Mapei Stadium.

The Ghanaian international revealed he knew little about the Italian midfielder prior to signing for the club but was pleasantly surprised by his ‘unbelievable talent’.

He likened Sensi’s style of play to PSG star Marco Verratti and tipped the youngster for a big move soon.

“We have Sensi, who I honestly, didn’t know about before, I just heard about him a little bit but for me he is like an unbelievable young talent,” Boateng said.

“He has so much quality, he is the little Verrati, I always say because he has everything like him and he just has to be constant and if he is consistent he can play any top team in Europe,” he added.

“He has everything, he is aggressive, he is skillful, he gives perfect pass, he has perfect control, he surprises me the most, to be honest.”
