Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi could resort to Davy Klaassen as a solution amidst the lack of attacking options.
With Marko Arnautovic injured, the Nerazzurri boss only has three attackers at his disposal, vying for two starting spots.
However, Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram appeared slightly tired in the team’s recent defeat at the hands of Sassuolo. Alexis Sanchez is the only available alternative at the moment.
So according to La Gazzetta dello Sport via FcInterNews, Inzaghi is looking to bolster his attacking options by pushing a midfielder into a more advanced role on the pitch.
As the source reveals, three main candidates emerged for the job: Stefano Sensi, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Davy Klaassen.
However, the Italian midfielder is currently missing through injury, while the Armenian is already a stalwart in the middle of the park.
Therefore, Inzaghi eventually identified Klaassen as the right profile for the role.
As the source explains, the manager sees the Dutchman as a wildcard who can fill in various roles.
The 30-year-old has the experience of playing as an attacking midfielder during his two stints at Ajax.
Inter Milan Coach Simone Inzaghi Could Push Davy Klaassen To A More Advanced Role Due To Attacking Shortage
The Netherlands international has been gradually adjusting to life at Appiano Gentile after completing a deadline-day switch last month.
Ajax agreed to rescind his contract as a sign of gratitude for his great services at the club. This allowed him to sign for the Nerazzurri as a free agent.
Klaassen made his debut as a late substitute on Wednesday. The source suggests that we could see him featuring in a more advanced role starting from tomorrow’s away fixture against Salernitana.
