Ex-Inter Milan midfielder Melo: Lautaro the striker of the future

Former Inter Milan midfielder Felipe Melo has no doubts about the quality and potential of Lautaro Martinez.

Melo says he's superior to fellow Inter striker Romelu Lukaku.

“I know Lautaro, I see him play because I follow Inter," he told Ole.

“He reminds me of Gabriel Jesus, who works a lot without the ball, fights and scores a lot.

“In my opinion, he's the striker of the future. He's only 22 years old, but he has strength and power and he has goals in him. A striker must always have goals in them.

“I like him very much as a player. For example, Lukaku's very strong physically but he doesn't have so much quality."
