Petar Sucic has become the latest Croatian midfielder to don the Inter Milan jersey after completing his arrival from Dinamo Zagreb.
According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the 21-year-old could slot straight into Cristian Chivu’s starting eleven.
Despite a wealth of midfield options at San Siro, Sucic could take a prominent role from the get-go.
Indeed, he will likely start in Inter’s FIFA Club World Cup curtain-raiser against Monterrey CF.
With Hakan Calhanoglu injured, the Croatian looks likely to take his place in the engine room.
Therefore, Sucic’s debut is on the horizon.
Petar Sucic arrives with a pedigree of a technically gifted and tactically intelligent player.
Furthermore, ability to operate as a deep-lying playmaker and a box-to-box midfielder allows him to cover multiple roles.
In Sucic’s native Croatia, there’s already hype around him.
Indeed, the domestic press compares him to ex-Ballon d’Or winner Luka Modric.
Despite these flattering comparisons, the youngster has a point to prove.
As such, he would be well-advised to keep his feet firmly on the ground.
