'New Inter buys in January'

By Football Italia staff

President Erick Thohir promises ‘new reinforcements’ in January and hopes for an Inter win against Fiorentina.

The Nerazzurri are cruising as they hold the top of the table with no defeats yet, and they may be reinforced even further.

“Let’s see what happens and whether we’re still first,” he told Sky Sport Italia about the possibility of more buys in January.

“Yes, a few reinforcements will arrive, alongside a few players being sold, because we can’t have 30 players, the max is 25.”

The tycoon then went on to discuss the Biscione’s individual footballers.

“We have a lot of players with a strong character.

“I believe [Mauro] Icardi is the youngest captain in Inter’s history. He’s already mature at 21.

“Many are perplexed by Geoffrey [Kondogbia], but he’s young and has excellent qualities.

“He runs back and forth and he handles the game. He can develop even further in his shooting skills and his offensive play, and I’m certain that he will.

“In truth everybody’s living up to my expectations. The transfer campaign was excellent.”

Finally, Thohir discussed tonight’s game against Fiorentina.

“I’d like to win it. It’s exciting to see a game between the first and the second team, but we’d like to win for our supporters since we’re playing at home.”
