Former Inter Milan striker Alessandro Altobelli has welcomed Alexis Sanchez from Manchester United.

Alexis joined Inter last week on-loan.

“He is a player we know very well in Italy, who offers many variables to Antonio Conte's side," Altobelli told La Cuarta newspaper.

“Alexis can play as a centre-forward, support striker, but also on the wing. Inter are a team who have wanted to win silverware for a while now and this can be a great season for them, as they have a strong squad, including Sanchez.

“Juventus remain ahead, but the Chilean can be the secret weapon for Inter to snatch the Scudetto from the Bianconeri."
