Inter Milan captain Mauro Icardi has welcomed Ghana midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah and other new arrivals to the club as they embark on pre-season for the new campaign.

Asamoah, 28, joined Inter from Serie A champions Juventus in a three-year deal, with Radja Nainggolan, Stefan De Vrij, Lautaro Martinez and Matteo Politano among the new signings.

“After six weeks, we were missing the daily routine of training a bit. We all want to start the new season and play in the Champions League which had been our objective,” Icardi told Inter TV.

“It will be a training camp that’s different from the rest. We’ll prepare well for the Champions League, Serie A and develop chemistry with our new teammates including Kwadwo Asamoah and the rest.

“I welcome the new players again, like I did before on the phone when they signed and they have to understand what Inter is like as a family. We met happily for the first training session and want to continue in the best way possible.”

Asamoah spent six seasons with Juventus, winning a total of 13 titles including six Serie A trophies.
