Inter Milan newcomer Luis Henrique is working hard to improve his game heading into his first season at San Siro.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Brazilian is keen to do better in defense above everything else.

Luis Henrique has signed a multi-year contract with the Nerazzurri this summer, joining the club from Marseille.

He made a name for himself as a winger in Ligue 1.

However, he will have a slightly different role at Inter.

One of the reasons for Henrique’s arrival was to alleviate pressure on Denzel Dumfries.

Indeed, the 23-year-old should compete with the Dutch star for a wingback position on the right side.

Yet, Dumfries has a guaranteed starting berth following an outstanding season.

Therefore, Henrique will likely play second fiddle to the former PSV Eindhoven defender at first.

Furthermore, the Brazilian must improve defensively to get the nod over Dumfries throughout the season.

That’s why he’s feeling concerned about his first-team prospects, though Cristian Chivu could deploy him elsewhere.
