Italian midfielder Andrea Poli is excited about the opportunity to impress for Inter Milan after joining on loan from Sampdoria.

Inter, Serie A runners-up last season, acquired the 21-year-old on a season-long loan from Sampdoria on Monday and have the option to sign him on a permanent deal at the end of the 2011-12 campaign.

The form of Poli, considered among the more exciting prospects in Italian football, was one of few highlights for Sampdoria last season as they were relegated to Serie B.

Rather than languishing in the second tier, Under-21 international Poli now has the chance to make his mark for Gian Piero Gasperini’s side.

“It’s a great opportunity and a great dream coming true,” Poli said.

“I’m really happy and I’m looking forward to joining up with my team-mates, to start training with them and be at the disposal of the coach.”

“It was really a bit unexpected, but, I repeat, it is a great opportunity for me and I want to do well, I’ll put all my determination into making full use of this opportunity.”

“My aim is to play well and that’s why I want to work a lot and I’m determined to do so. I repeat again, it’s a very important opportunity for me and I don’t want to waste it.”

Poli began his career with Treviso before joining Sampdoria in 2007.

He arrives at Inter with the club looking to improve on last season’s second-placed finish behind cross-city rivals AC Milan.
