Ever Banega held his first press conference as an Inter player at Appiano Gentile. Piero Ausilo started the presser saying “We’re delighted to unveil a player that we really wanted and that chose Inter.”

I chose Inter because this is a massive club. Any player would want to play here” the summer signing said.

He moved on to explain his decision to pick the number 19, “I chose No.19 because a close friend once told me it would bring me luck. It’s seen me right so far.”

I’ve played all over so I don’t think there’s a specific position I see as mine. I’m happy anywhere” he then added “I like being at the heart of the action and I want to get on the ball as much as possible.”

He went on to then say that “I chatted to Gonzalo Higuain during the Copa America. Serie A is a great league – it’s fascinating.”

The fact that Javier Zanetti is here was important. It was really useful to be able to speak to him.”

Mauro Icardi? I’ll be aiming to create as many chances for him to score as I can, definitely.”

He concluded his unveiling admitting “I’d spoken to Inter at various points in the past, but the most important thing is that I’m here now.”
