Inter Milan striker Marcus Thuram is enjoying his partnership with Lautaro Martinez while revealing his closest friends in the dressing room.

The 26-year-old rapidly cemented himself as a pillar at the club after joining the Nerazzurri on a free transfer in the summer.

The Frenchman formed a deadly striking duo with Inter captain Lautaro Martinez who has been firing on all cylinders.

The former Borussia Monchengladbach star feels that he and the Argentine complement one another, describing his teammate as an intelligent player.

“What I really like about Lautaro is his technique and his goal instinct,” said Thuram in a YouTube interview via FcInterNews.

“Lautaro and I complement each other. He’s a very intelligent player and I try to be the same. We are two players who respect the game, it’s easier to play with someone like that.”

“I try to help the team whether by scoring goals or winning penalties. But I must also help my teammates by making a run, on a throw-in, with a pass, or with a dribble.”

The French forward discusses his strong bond with Hakan Calhanoglu and Marko Arnautovic. He also dwells on his relationship with his legendary father Lilian Thuram.

“Hakan and Arnautovic are like brothers to me. They help me a lot, they joke with me, they help me prepare for the match, and also outside the pitch. But I can’t reveal it all,” jokes Thuram.

“My father and I often talk. He helps me on and off the pitch. But if there’s one thing I really have to say about my relationship with him, it’s that he truly is always, always, always supporting me.

“Even at the age of 26, he feels I’m still a child. When I have a good game, I know that perhaps he will probably point at what I did wrong. But that’s okay because it helps me improve.”

Finally, Thuram insists that Inter are aiming to win the Scudetto title and earn the second Golden Star.

“Since I signed for Inter, I realized that the club wants to win the Scudetto.

“The league is very long and it is still early to talk about the second star, but we try to learn in every training session and do the best we can every game.

“Since the beginning of the season, we have been achieving good results. So let’s try to continue on this path.”
