Marcus Thuram admits Inter Milan had been pursuing him for two years.
The France striker made the move form Borussia Monchengladbach over the summer.
Thuram told Sky Italia: “I had already spoken to director Piero Ausilio two years ago, before I got hurt. He saw me as a centre-forward and that was something that made me think Inter was the right choice.
“Lautaro is the best striker in the world. Anyone who plays alongside him will have no problems scoring goals. This is a new team for me, a new city, a new league, and I am trying to learn every single second.
“What strikes me the most about this team is that everyone gets along and enjoys spending time with each other. That's lovely to see."
