Former Inter Milan wing-back Ezequiel Schelotto is full of praise for current captain Lautaro Martinez.

Schelotto believes Lautaro can become one of the club's great emblems.

He told Sportitalia: “Javier (Zanetti, vice-president) is a friend who I respect a lot. We still talk, he's always available. He's a very humble person.

“He continues to be my captain. He always will be. He is an extraordinary person and deserves all the affection he receives every day.

“Lautaro is a great player. He's still young, but if he gets it into his head that he wants to stay at Inter, well what can I say?

“He can be a true symbol of the club. He has already done a lot for Argentina and Inter. I hope he continues on this path."
