Inzaghi was speaking to DAZN after this evening’s 1-0 Serie A defeat to Sassuolo when he was shown footage of Taremi’s goal for Porto against Chaves.

“He is an important player, he has a lot of experience in Champions League games, in Europe, he scored many goals and we are happy to have him,” said the coach.

“We will have a larger squad next season, so we needed more strikers.”
