Ex Inter Milan, Roma & AC Milan Forward Names “Phenomenal” Nerazzurri Captain Among “Best Strikers In The World” | OneFootball

Antonio Cassano views Inter Milan standout performer Lautaro Martinez as one of the best strikers in the world.

During the latest episode of Viva El Futbol via FCInterNews, Cassano heaped praise on the Nerazzurri stalwart.

Widely regarded as one of the best center-forwards in the world, Lautaro Martinez has been the cornerstone of Inter’s success in recent years.

Indeed, the 28-year-old has helped the club win two Serie A titles since joining the club from Racing in 2018.

Furthermore, El Toro is on the verge of captaining Inter to another Scudetto this term.

Cristian Chivu’s men boast a comfortable seven-point lead over second-placed Napoli, with only seven games left to play.

Meanwhile, Lautaro is topping the scoring charts in Italy’s top flight.

With 16 goals from 26 matches, he has netted at least five more than any other player in the league.

Therefore, it’s no wonder regards Lautaro as one of the finest strikers on the planet.

Antonio Cassano Waxes Lyrical About Inter Milan Talisman Lautaro Martinez

“Inter is the strongest team in Italy, no ifs, no buts,” Cassano was adamant. “With Lautaro, who is the best player in the league, it’s a completely different level, and we saw that on Sunday.

“Then there are the clowns who say he isn’t decisive… He’s phenomenal, one of the top 3–5 center-forwards in the world. I say it without any hesitation.”

Lautaro enjoyed a dream return from injury on Easter Sunday, inspiring Inter to a superb 5-2 home win over Roma.

Indeed, El Toro netted only his second league brace of the season to help Chivu’s side end a three-game winless run in Serie A.

Meanwhile, Marcus Thuram chipped in with a goal and two assists, showing signs of life alongside his attacking partner.

Now, he will look to add to his tally when the Nerazzurri take on fourth-placed Como at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia next weekend.
