Inter Milan continues to strengthen their squad

Another great signing is pushing Inter Milan further up the projected Serie A table

Inter Milan are setting themselves up for a very promising year. The Serie A has been one of the busiest in Europe, and the talent they have acquired continues to grow.

With the blockbuster signing of Radja Nainggolan topping headlines, Inter Milan have now added another dangerous player to their squad. Winger Keita Balde has joined the club on loan from Ligue 1 side Monaco.

Keita had a decent year for Monaco last season. He scored eight goals in league play for the club and was full of tricks and skills on the wing.

It is a bit odd for Monaco to be loaning out a player like Keita Balde. They are usually the ones that build and develop players to later sell them on to premier clubs.

Sending Keita Balde out on loan means that Monaco feel he will get more play time and development at Inter. Due to his versatility, Inter are gaining much more than just a winger.

Keita Balde can also play as a second striker. The contrast in play styles between Mauro Icardi and Keita Balde will make the two a deadly combination up top.

The raw speed and sharpness of Keita will be the perfect compliment to Icardi’s physical play and deadly finishing. The two will give manager Luciano Spalletti plenty of options heading into the new season.

Keita cannot take this opportunity for granted, though. Playing for a club on the rise like Inter Milan is will come with a lot of challenges.

There are a handful of wingers and attackers that Keita will have to out-perform to get into the starting line up. A few weeks of appearances off the bench could be the way Keita starts out his career in Milan.

Keita does have a load of experience in Serie A, as he was with Lazio’s senior team for over four years. Getting back to his Lazio form will do him a world of good under Spalletti.

Bringing in Keita is a great investment for Inter Milan overall. They are getting a very capable attacker that can influence play and take some of the attention off Icardi.

He may not come in and score 20 goals, but Keita will definitely grab his fair share of game changing moments as the season goes on.

Do you think Keita will do well at Inter Milan?
