The fact that the other senior strikers from last season have not been part of the training thus far means that the Iranian player has had the chance to work one-on-one with Inzaghi.

The Italian coach has been apparently very impressed by what he has seen from Taremi during the past week.

The Gazzetta reported that there are echoes of former Lazio and Bayern Munich striker Miroslav Klose in what Taremi has demonstrated in preseason.

Inzaghi had worked with Klose right at the tail end of the German forward’s career at the Biancocelesti in 2016.

Similarly, the Gazzetta reported, there are echoes of Edin Dzeko’s game in Taremi. The Bosnian had spent two seasons as a key player for Inter under Inzaghi.
