Inter Milan hero Hernan Crespo is backing their move for Racing Club striker Lautaro Martinez.

Crespo says the youngster can play alongside Inter skipper Mauro Icardi.

“He's very good, versatile," Crespo told Sky Italia.

“He can play wide in a three-man attack, also as a second striker and also as the main striker. He has an eye for goal and he's an intelligent lad.

“Coming to Inter is never easy, he needs to be helped and supported and then hopefully he can explode immediately and show all his quality.

“Can he play with Icardi? Yes, he can do that calmly. He reminds me a little bit of Aguero in some ways, with his low centre of gravity. But he's Lautaro Martinez."
