Denzel Dumfries has made Inter Milan quickly forget Achraf Hakimi

DBasia.news – Inter Milan was spoiled by the appearance of the new player who was brought in last summer, Denzel Dumfries. The defender fills the position left by Achraf Hakimi.

Inter Milan received a crushing blow in the transfer market after Achraf Hakimi chose to leave for Paris Saint-Germain. One of the decisions taken was to strengthen La Beneamata’s financial sector.

Then, the Nerazzurri also brought Denzel Dumfries from PSV Eindhoven for a dowry of 12.5 million euros. Previously, the 25-year-old defender impressed with the Netherlands at the 2020 European Cup.

It didn’t take long for Dumfries to make Inter fans fall in love. Thanks to his slick appearance against Bologna, Dumfries began to make the fear of being left by Hakimi fade away.

In that match, Dumfries got the opportunity to appear as a starter for the first time. He responded by playing impressively in attack and defense. Dumfries also packed one assist in that match.

“I’m thrilled. It was a good game after the defeat against Real Madrid. Because we have to come back,” Dumfries told DAZN.

“We did a good job as a team. It was a good game,” continued the Dutch national team player.

“I have to go forward and attack to make the pitch as wide as possible. It’s my first time playing as a starter. However, I feel like I’m working well with my team-mates. They gave me a lot of rave reviews. They helped a lot and I’m happy to be here. “

Dumfries realized that he would be compared to Hakimi. However, the player just wants to enjoy the game.

“Hakimi did a great job last year. I am very proud to be here. Inter is an amazing club. The fans are great and I am thrilled,” stated Dumfries.

Dumfries’ appearance also received a thumbs up from the coach, Simone Inzaghi. According to him, it did not take long for Dumfries to make an immediate impact.

“It was a great performance. He trained well and frankly adapted quicker than expected,” said Inzaghi.

“He has quality, quantity, a desire to learn. So far, we are more than satisfied,” said the former Lazio coach.
