Inter Milan hero Altobelli welcomes Vidal signing

Inter Milan hero Alessandro Altobelli has welcomed their signing of Barcelona midfielder Arturo Vidal.

Altobelli believes Vidal is a good addition for Inter coach Antonio Conte.

He told PassioneInter.com: “Conte knows him very well. We also saw at Barcelona what he is able to do, he already knows our league, he is perfect for Antonio's game. He can play instead of Eriksen and as a mezzala.

"He scores and assists, he's versatile."

Altobelli added: "With my eyes closed I would hold on to both Perisic and Nainggolan. Ivan won the treble with Bayern, almost always playing a starter.

“Nainggolan? It is true that at Inter he let himself go a bit, but when he went to Cagliari he showed what he is still capable of, he can also cover different roles. With the arrival of Vidal, the door is a bit closed on him but I would keep players like them in the squad."
