Striker Marcus Thuram has certainly had an instant impact at Inter Milan.

The 26-year-old only arrived at the Nerazzurri during the summer transfer window. He joined on a free transfer following his contract with Borussia Monchengladbach expiring.

But Thuram has not taken long to hit the ground running.

The Frenchman has already started making decisive contributions.

This has been the case in both Serie A and in the Champions League. But particularly in the league, Thuram’s quality has been decisive on a week-to-week basis.

And this has looked to be a key factor in Inter pushing for the Serie A title.

Football stats account Opta highlighted just how impressive of a start Marcus Thuram has had at Inter.

They tweeted, “9- Marcus Thuram has been involved in 9 goals this season (four goals and five assist), no player has been involved in more goals in the first 10 games for Inter in #SerieA since the details on the assists (since 2004/05). Decisive.”
