New Inter Milan boss, Frank de Boer, is excited to be working with the Argentine striker at San Siro and believes his side can challenge Juventus for the Serie A title this season, according to Goal.com.

But the new boss was confident over Inter’s prospects at his first news conference as manager and he expects Icardi, a reported transfer target for Arsenal and Napoli before the start of the new season, to play a key role in attempting to stop Juve adding a sixth consecutive league title this season.

“I thank Inter for choosing me,” De Boer said.
