Inter are investigating their next move in the search for a new striker and the direction they are heading is Argentina; more specifically River Plate and Lucas Alario.
 

According to Tyc Sports, Inter’s chief scout in the country Massimiliano Mirabelli has sent back rave reviews and has rated him as one of the best youngsters currently in South America. Born in Santa Fe in 1992, Alario was purchased by River Plate last summer and immediately made an impression in the Copa Libertadores. He’s the complete striker, able to lead the attack or play alongside a teammate and Inter were initially alerted to him by former striker Julio Cruz.  

As reported by Tyc Sports, representatives from River Plate have arrived in Italy to discuss the player with their counterparts at Inter. Originally bought for just €2 million; his market value today is worth around four times that figure.
