Piotr Zielinski has recently impressed Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi after a troubled start to life at the San Siro.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, Zielinski’s return to form has left a telling impression on Inzaghi.

Inter signed Piotr Zielinski from Napoli on a Bosman deal last summer.

However, the Polish ace arrived with a fitness problem and was largely absent in the early stages of the campaign.

Since returning from injury, the 30-year-old has blown hot and cold.

Indeed, Simone Inzaghi had struggled to find him a proper position.

But that’s all behind Zielinski now.

Following an extended period of adaptation, Zielinski has started to show glimpses of his class.

After all, he has joined Inter as one of Serie A’s best midfielders.

With the season approaching a crunch stage, Inzaghi could rely on Zielinski more heavily.

Adding to this sentiment, Hakan Calhanoglu hasn’t been at his best lately.

Moreover, Henrikh Mkhitaryan is not getting any younger, while Nicolo Barella needs rest.

Therefore, the Pole could become an X-Factor for Inter toward the end of the season.
