France coach Deschamps: Inter Milan have been good for Thuram

France coach Didier Deschamps can see Marcus Thuram improving thanks to his move to Inter Milan.

The former Borussia Monchengladbach striker has settled quickly in Serie A since his summer arrival.

Deschamps said, “He already played as a striker and now in Italy he is getting to do that more consistently.

“What we ask of him is above all to score goals. That was not his strength before, now he enjoys it, because at Inter he plays in a system with two forwards that really suits him. He is more effective now and can score more goals.

“Thuram has this ability to see the spaces and is very generous, so puts the effort in to get into those spaces. He can get even more effective in front of goal, but this is part of the growth process and he's more confident than ever."
