Former Inter Milan midfielder Alessandro Bianchi has sung the praises of Marcus Thuram.

Thuram proved the matchwinner in yesterday's defeat of AS Roma.

Bianchi told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "His start to the season is nothing short of exceptional. Yet if you look at his statistics from the past, you see that he has never been a great goalscorer: a wonderful surprise, he is making the difference.

"It wasn't easy to replace Lukaku and Dzeko, there was certainly a lot of pressure but he has fit in great: he has a positive attitude, he's a decent boy who works with great humility.

"He's generous, he helps the team, helps Lautaro. Lukaku is now in the past."
