Former Inter striker Samuel Eto’o has sang the praises of current Inter forward Alexis Sanchez despite the difficulties the Chilean has endured this season.

“Alexis has been unlucky this season because of that injury but the quality that he has is not up for discussion,” Eto’o began an interview with Chilean news outlet CDF Noticias.

The former Cameroonian international then went on to state what he thinks is great about Sanchez, who is currently on loan at Inter from Premier League side Manchester United.

“He is a player who can make a difference at all times. He is a different kind of forward, of movement and is lethal in one on one situations.

“It is normal that it will take time for him to get bac to his best because he arrived at Inter following a period at United where he did not play much.”

Eto’o concluded his praise of the former Barcelona player by adding: “He has different skills, someone like him is always comfortable at clubs like Inter.”

Since his arrival at Inter on a season long loan, Sanchez has made 15 appearances across all competitions but has not exactly performed to expectations with an ankle injury early on sidelining him for a considerable amount of time.

In his time on the park, Sanchez has scored one goal and provided three assists and recent reports in the media have stated that there is a chance he could remain with Inter past the end of this season.
