Inter’s recent acquisition, Marcus Thuram, has quickly made an impact in Serie A, amassing nine league goals and seven assists in his initial 23 appearances in Italy. This performance surpasses the combined output of Edin Dzeko and Romelu Lukaku at the same stage last season.

While much admiration is directed towards captain Lautaro Martinez, who boasts 19 goals and two assists from 21 Serie A matches, Thuram has emerged as a dependable source of goals and creativity to complement Martinez’s efforts in attack.

Thuram’s nine goals and seven assists in 23 Serie A matches outshine the combined statistics of Dzeko and Lukaku. By comparison, Dzeko had contributed seven goals and three assists, while Lukaku managed two goals and one assist after the same number of league games in the 2022-23 season.

In the previous season, Dzeko and Lukaku collectively provided nine goals and four assists as Inter’s ‘second’ strikers. However, Thuram has remarkably improved upon these figures single-handedly.

Additionally, Inter has the versatile Marko Arnautovic available this season. While mainly serving as a substitute for Martinez and Thuram, Arnautovic has contributed another Serie A goal and three assists to Inter’s overall tally this campaign.

Currently, Inter leads the Serie A table by seven points after 23 games, with a match in hand over second-placed Juventus, despite their recent 1-0 loss to Udinese on Monday evening.
