Report – Inter Milan Coach Hopes To Test New Attacking Trio In Summer Friendlies | OneFootball

New Inter Milan coach Cristian Chivu is keen to test his new-look attacking trio during the upcoming summer friendlies.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the Romanian is desperate for Inter to sign Ademola Lookman in the coming days.

Cristian Chivu has already decided to stray away from Simone Inzaghi’s preferred 3-5-2 formation.

Indeed, Inter will line up in a 3-4-2-1 next term, highlighting the importance of signing a versatile forward.

Therefore, they’re fighting tooth and nail to sign Ademola Lookman.

Lookman would instantly slot into Inter’s starting XI.

Indeed, Chivu intends to use the 27-year-old as a second striker behind Lautaro Martinez.

Furthermore, Lookman should play next to Marcus Thuram and act as a dynamic link between midfield and attack.

However, team chemistry is everything, and Chivu would like to try out his new attacking trio before the season starts.

With Inter’s first pre-season friendly coming in the first week of August, he’s eager to have Lookman at his disposal as soon as possible.
