Martin Palermo highlights the exceptional mobility and goal-scoring instinct of the Inter captain, who has dominated Italian and European football this season.
Former Argentine striker Martin Palermo has heaped praise on Inter Milan star Lautaro Martinez. In an interview with Argentine podcast Clank!, the former Boca Juniors ace said that for him, Lautaro is currently the best striker in Europe.
Palermo is fascinated by the way Martinez combines strength and a constant hunger for goals with technical ability and teamwork.
According to Palermo, the Inter captain is not just a classic executioner, but a player who drops deep to receive the ball, participates in creating attacks and spreads the play before entering the penalty area with lightning speed.
The legendary Argentine particularly highlighted that Martinez executes all of these moves with great elegance, dismissing previous criticism that he is a “clumsy” player. Such versatility has made Martinez an unsolvable puzzle for defenses across Italy and Europe so far this season.
The statistics fully support Palermo's claims, as Lautaro Martinez is currently Serie A's top scorer with 14 goals. He has scored 18 goals in 33 games in all competitions this season, four of which have come in seven Champions League appearances.
At 28, the Argentine is at the peak of his career and praise from an attacking icon like Palermo is just further confirmation of his status in world football.
