Former Inter goalkeeper Sebastien Frey has admitted he has been impressed by reported Inter transfer target Udinese’s Juan Musso this season.

Musso has been heavily linked with a move to Inter ahead of the upcoming Summer transfer window as Inter look to acquire a goalkeeper who can initially serve as Samir Handanovic’s back-up and then takeover from him.

“I was particularly impressed by how quickly he adapted to Italian football. He is really good with his feet and would be very important for any team,” Frey explained in an interview with Italian radio station Radio Musica Television during their ‘Taca la Marca’ show.

The Frenchman then went on to sing the praises of Handanovic and reckons he still has a lot to give Inter in the coming years despite the fact he is close to turning 36-years-old.

“At the moment Inter have an excellent goalkeeper in Handanovic and he will be there for the next two or three years. So, at the moment the Nerazzurri have no goalkeeping problem but it is right for them to be looking around.”

Frey, who spent three years with Inter, then concluded the interview by discussing the criticism that Daniele Padelli faced for his performances when he had to stand in for Handanovic when he sustained a hairline fracture to the small finger in his left hand.

“Daniele Padelli is an extraordinary boy and a great professional. He is a goalkeeper who has done well in many teams, but being in a great team like that of Inter has turned out to be complicated for him. When a goalkeeper makes a mistake, he is always criticised, but they were really harsh on him.”
