Inter Milan superstar Lautaro Martinez has hit a purple patch following an indifferent start to the season.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the 28-year-old has never been as indispensable as he is right now.

Though El Toro has been Inter’s attacking cornerstone for years, his influence has never been more pronounced than it is at the moment.

Indeed, Cristian Chivu can no longer imagine a lineup without the Argentine striker, whose form has been unparalleled.

In addition to topping Serie A’s scoring charts, Lautaro Martinez has never been as consistent as he is at this stage of the campaign.

For context, he has scored in five consecutive league outings for the first time in over four years.

Moreover, he has already tallied ten Serie A goals this season, compared to 12 he netted last term.

With 167 club goals under his belt, Lautaro is only four away from matching Roberto Boninsegna’s record.

On top of that, he boasts four assists.
