Inter Milan newcomer Tajon Buchanan has presented himself in great physical shape upon his arrival and should earn a call-up against Monza.
The 24-year-old signed for the Nerazzurri last week, completing a transfer from Club Brugge.
The Serie A leaders sought a replacement for the injured Juan Cuadrado. They swiftly identified the Canadian as the best profile for the role.
The Italians splashed around 10 million euros between a fixed transfer fee and add-ons to strike the deal.
Buchanan returned to Belgium earlier this week to finalize some paperwork but has now resumed training with his teammates at Appiano Gentile.
According to Sky Sport via FcInter1908, the winger will most likely earn his maiden call-up this weekend.
The Nerazzurri will travel to Monza to take on Raffaele Palladino’s men at the U-Power Stadium.
The source expects Buchanan to be part of the traveling party. He will have the chance to make his Serie A debut, possibly as a second-half substitute.
Moreover, a report from La Gazzetta dello Sport (via FcInter1908) reveals that the player has been in fine form since he arrived at the club.
Tajon Buchanan Will Earn His Maiden Inter Milan Call-up Ahead Of The Monza Encounter
The Canada international made 20 appearances for Club Brugge since the start of the season, playing for 1,438 minutes.
However, his playing time regressed in December while his future at the club became in doubt.
But despite his limited playing time last month, he still maintained great form, claims the pink newspaper.
The source explains how Buchanan’s physical tests put him on par with some of the club’s best athletes.
The Canadian winger is blessed with exceptional pace, and he’ll be looking to put it to good use during his time with the Nerazzurri.
