Inter Milan sign teenage Croatian starlet Mateo Kovacic from Dinamo Zagreb.

Inter Milan have splashed €15m (£12.9m) on Dinamo Zagreb's teenage midfielder Mateo Kovacic.

The 18-year-old - dubbed 'the Croatian Lionel Messi' - is in Milan today to finalise a move to the San Siro.

Many of Europe's elite clubs were reportedly chasing Kovacic, who has four caps for Croatia Under-21s.

The Nerazzurri have handed over €11m (£9.5m) up front, with another €4m (£3.4m) in add-ons.
