Inter Milan wingback Federico Dimarco believes that new signings Marcus Thuram and Davide Frattesi will add a lot to the Nerazzurri.
Speaking to InterTV, via FCInterNews, the 25-year-old gave his thoughts as the team prepares for the upcoming campaign in preseason.
Inter are now starting to gear up for next season.
The Nerazzurri squad has returned to training for preseason. Among the players are stalwarts from last season like Dimarco.
However, joining the Italian international are some new arrivals.
Arguably the two most high-profile signings of the summer have been Thuram and Frattesi.
Both of the pair will arrive with big expectations. They have each shown in the past couple seasons that they can inject some immediate quality into the team.
At the same time, both of the pair bring the average age of the squad. Both Thuram and Frattesi will have plenty of room to grow in an Inter shirt.
And for his part, Dimarco is expecting both two improve the team next season.
