In an interview with Italian broadcaster Sky Sport 24, former Inter player Antonio Cassano has spoken on Inter’s chances of winning the Serie A title this season.

“I have said since the end of August that Inter will win the Scudetto because they have a manager who can win them an extra 15-20 points. I expected them to be doing what they are doing,” he said.

He then spoke on the partnership between Lautaro Martinez and Romelu Lukaku.

“I did not think that the Belgian would do so well from the beginning but he is proving to be a great player. He works a lot for the team and is very intelligent.

“Lautaro will be talked about for 10-15 years because he is a great guy. Piero Ausilio should be given credit for bringing in players suited to Conte’s system.” 

Cassano then spoke on Inter’s teen sensation Sebastiano Esposito, who scored his first goal at senior level in his first start.

“Being in a great team and playing at San Siro is complicated, but he has the fire inside him. He has quality and the desire to do well, but he has to grow further and with Conte he will do it great. He is perfect for him.”
