Inter Milan coach Conte delighted signing Alexis outright

Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte is delighted with their deal for Manchester United striker Alexis Sanchez.

Alexis has seen his loan now turned into a permanent deal.

After their Europa League defeat of Getafe, Conte said: “I think the Alexis Sanchez move is a great one made by the club. Considering the conditions we managed to get Alexis, it was a really good transfer.

“He had come off two years when he was really struggling at Manchester United, then he got this injury with us and we took the time to get him back on track, so it's only right that we are now able to reap the rewards of that effort," continued Conte.

“I am happy when I see the lads with that determination and hunger. They are becoming a tough team with everyone involved, whether they are playing or not.

“I'm happy for Christian Eriksen, as like all players, he needs a situation to go his way and suddenly everything seems positive. He's a good lad, he knows I make choices for the good of Inter, but the fact he immediately got into the game and scored is important. Christian is part of the Inter squad, he is adapting and settling in."
