‘The Extra Man' – Ex West Ham United Star Proving A Decisive Force In Attack For Inter Milan
'The Extra Man' – Ex West Ham United Star Proving A Decisive Force In Attack For Inter Milan Striker Marko Arnautovic has been 'the extra man' in attack with his decisive contributions for Inter Milan this season. Today's print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews, highlight the fact that the Austrian has averaged a goal contribution every 76 minutes he's been on the pitch this season for Inter. Advertisement Striker Marko Arnautovic has hardly been a regular starter for Inter Milan this season. Nor has the 35-year-old always come off the bench. Arnautovic is well aware of his status as a backup option in attack for the Nerazzurri. But the former Stoke City and West Ham United veteran has well and truly made the most of his opportunities. Inter coach Simone Inzaghi has turned to Arnautovic when he has needed to rest the starters in attack, or find a different sort of option leading the line. And Arnautovic has just about always managed to come up big in those circumstances. Marko Arnautovic 'The Extra Man' In Attack For Inter Milan MILAN, ITALY – FEBRUARY 25: Marko Arnautovic of FC Internazionale celebrates scoring his team's first goal during the Coppa Italia Quarter Final match between FC Internazionale and SS Lazio at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on February 25, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) As Tuttosport note, Marko Arnautovic has played a total of 684 minutes for Inter Milan this season. Advertisement And in this limited playing time, the Austrian has scored seven goals. Additionally, Arnautovic has popped up with two assists. The 35-year-old was decisive with a sharp goal and then an even better assist against Cagliari this weekend. And that star turn saw Arnautovic take his average this campaign to a goal or assist every 76 minutes. Meanwhile, Arnautovic nearly always scores when he starts matches, Tuttosport note. The former Bologna striker has started in two out of Inter's last three Serie A matches. And opened the scoring in both of them. In fact, the only match that Arnautovic has played as a starter in for Inter this season and not found the back of the net in was a Champions League outing away to Young Boys.

Report – Roma Midfield Target Reignites Inter Milan Long-Term Prospects After Nearly Leaving In January Report – Roma Midfield Target Reignites Inter Milan Long-Term Prospects After Nearly Leaving In January Roma target Davide Frattesi is on course to regain a prominent status at Inter Milan despite nearly leaving the club in January. According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Italian midfielder would be 'an ideal fit' for the Giallorossi. Advertisement Roma had tried to sign Davide Frattesi during the winter transfer window but to no avail. Despite his bit-part role in his system, Simone Inzaghi refused to let the ex-Sassuolo star join his boyhood team.

Not Just The Goal: Calhanoglu Runs Show In AC Milan 1-1 Inter Milan Coppa Italia Derby
Not Just The Goal: Calhanoglu Runs Show In AC Milan 1-1 Inter Milan Coppa Italia Derby – Frattesi Dreadful Not Just The Goal: Calhanoglu Runs Show In AC Milan 1-1 Inter Milan Coppa Italia Derby – Frattesi Dreadful Hakan Calhanoglu was the outstanding player in yesterday's Coppa Italia draw between AC Milan and Inter Milan. Today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, hail the Turk for providing far more than just a goal. Davide Frattesi, however, comes in for harsh criticism. Advertisement The Milan derby is certainly a fixture with a particular significance to midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu. The Turkish international joined Inter Milan from AC Milan in the summer of 2021. And there is certainly no love lost between he and his former club the Rossoneri. And yesterday in the first leg of a Coppa Italia semifinal tie, Calhanoglu looked like the extra motivation was really spurring him on. Not Just The Goal – Calhanoglu Shines In AC Milan 1-1 Inter Milan Clash MILAN, ITALY – FEBRUARY 25: Hakan Calhanoglu of FC Internazionale scores his team's second goal from the penalty spot during the Coppa Italia Quarter Final match between FC Internazionale and SS Lazio at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on February 25, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) Hakan Calhanoglu was the player who scored the equalizing goal for Inter Milan in the second half yesterday. That was naturally the standout moment from the 31-year-old. Advertisement However, the Gazzetta argues, it was just the cap on a performance that was at a very high level overall. Calhanoglu was the player who ran the show in midfield. The former Milan and Bayer Leverkusen looked very sharp in possession. He was constantly making himself available for the ball, and virtually never gave it away. On the other hand, midfielder Davide Frattesi was culpable for losing possession too many times. The former Sassuolo midfielder looked technically poor and off the pace in the first half. Then in the second, Frattesi was culpable for a lack of a real challenge on Yusuf Fofana in the buildup to Milan's opening goal.
