'Asamoah showing all that was expected of him', says Inter boss Spalletti after Lyon triumph

New Inter Milan acquisition Kwadwo Asamoah once again got a pleasant mention during manager Luciano Spalletti's post-match interview, this time after Saturday's 1-0 friendly victory over French side Lyon.

The Ghanaian has been impressive for the Nerazzurri in pre-season since completing a three-year move from Juventus last month.

His appearances have been in midfield, a development that has earned him praise from many quarters, considering he largely played at the left side of defence during his six-year stay with Juve.

"Lautaro [Martinez] and [Mauro] Icardi with Nainggolan? We’ll have lots of matches to play and we need to manage for all of them," Spalletti said.
