Inter Milan veteran ace Marko Arnautovic has rolled back the years to become an ‘X-factor’ for the club this season.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the 35-year-old has enjoyed a phenomenal season, especially at the San Siro.

Marko Arnautovic had a bit-part role in his first season at Inter back in 2023/24.

Indeed, Simone Inzaghi only barely used the ex-Bologna striker in his debut campaign at Giuseppe Meazza.

However, things have changed this term.

Marko Arnautovic Becomes X-Factor for Inter Milan

Recurring injury problems to Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez have given Arnautovic more frequent first-team opportunities.

More importantly, the Austrian star has seized almost every chance to impress Inzaghi and Inter fans.

For context, he only netted seven goals in 1072 minutes last term.

By contrast, he has already tallied six across 616 minutes, bagging four goals in the past 50 days.

Arnautovic’s sterling exploits have seen him overtake Joaquin Correa and Mehdi Taremi in the pecking order.

Unfortunately, his age will probably lead to a summer exit, with Inter reluctant to extend his expiring contract.
