Antonio Cassano has once again hit out at Inter striker Mauro Icardi as he appeared as a guest on Sport Mediaset show Tiki Taka.

Firstly he spoke on the chances of a Mauro Icardi and Lautaro Martinez strike partnership.

“Inter play with a 4-2-3-1, which means having only one striker: Icardi cannot play with Lautaro. If it was up to Spalletti, he would play Martinez because he prefers strikers who play for the team. Lautaro’s done very well, he’s 20 and he has to play because he’s better than Mauro,” he began.

Cassano then went on to add: “Icardi just scores and that’s it. If he doesn’t score, he offers nothing else.

“Spalletti prefers strikers like Dzeko, Benzema and Lewandowski. Icardi is like Inzaghi in that if he doesn’t score, he does nothing else.

“I think Spalletti prefers a player like Lautaro. He wouldn’t even play someone like Piatek. There are players who score goals and others who score goals and also play for the team.”
