The French forward is already a key player for Simone Inzaghi’s Inter. Against Fiorentina in the first leg, he scored his first goal wearing the Nerazzurri shirt. Now, his total goals are eight, and if he reaches double figures in his first year, he would enter the exclusive club that already includes Ronaldo, Lukaku, Djorkaeff, and Eto’o.
On the trail of the greats. After winning his first trophy as a key player, Marcus Thuram is no longer just a pleasant surprise but a key point who, alongside Lautaro, must lead Inter in the challenging away match in Florence.
With a depleted midfield and Juventus increasing pressure, the ThuLa duo’s strength and the French number 9’s boldness are essential. The numbers say it all: 10 total goals and 7 assists, a regular starter in the league with 8 goals so far.
Reaching double figures in the first year in Serie A would put Thuram in the company of players who, in the era of three points, scored at least 10 goals in their first year with Inter: Ronaldo, Lukaku, Djorkaeff, and Eto’o. Not a bad group to be in for Thuram, who scored his first goal of the season against Fiorentina in the first leg.
Back then, no one expected him to be as crucial as he has proven to be in the following months. Signed on a free transfer last summer, Tikus is now one of Inzaghi’s most utilized players. He communicates well with Lautaro, bringing speed and unpredictability to the entire Inter team. With Juventus continuing to run smoothly, who better than Thuram to stay in the chase, waiting for the direct clash on February 4th and then attempting to overtake them in the table once again.”
