Inter Milan coach Spalletti hails 'thoroughbred' Jovetic: We want him here

Inter Milan coach Luciano Spalletti has declared he hopes to keep Stevan Jovetic after victory over friendly opponents Villarreal.

Jovetic was again on target with a spectacular scissor-kick volley.

Spalletti said, “We were inconsistent and at times passed the ball around too slowly. I expect something more, as I have a good squad at my disposal and a good squad needs to play good football. We mustn't settle for what is below our capabilities.

“Jovetic is like a thoroughbred, so we know he can score goals like this and has that level of quality. We're looking more at the overall picture, as we want players with quality who work hard for the team, whether they are Mauro Icardi, Jovetic or Ivan Perisic."
