Dejan Stankovic admits Inter Milan are chasing Champions League glory for the new season.

"We want to win the Champions League, but most of all this should be Inter's year," he enthused. "This is such a great squad and there is such desire to win.

"This year there will be lots of sides with big ambitions - Juventus starting again, Milan looking to do better than last year, then there are Roma, Fiorentina and Palermo. We will do everything we can to win it again and confirm that we are the best."

The midfielder also backed Inter's bids for Roma defender Cristian Chivu and Real Madrid midfielder Emerson.

"I have the utmost respect for my teammates and this team, but Emerson and Cristian Chivu are fantastic players who would improve our fortunes," Stankovic admitted.

"Whatever happens I hope that Zlatan Ibrahimovic wins the Golden Ball in the coming season, he really deserves to."
