Inter Milan hits two late goals to beat Fiorentina 4-3
Inter Milan fought back with two goals in the last five minutes as they began their Serie A campaign with a 4-3 win over Fiorentina on Saturday. Runners-up last season and seen as the main challengers to the dominance of Juventus this term, Inter suffered one of their familiar slumps as they fell 3-2 behind to a Fiorentina side inspired by 37-year-old Franck Ribery.

Furthermore, agreeing on a fee with the Brazilian club could be a challenge as wel...

It will be interesting to see if Spurs make an offer for the 22-year-old in the coming weeks. Jose Mourinho needs to improve his central midfield options and the Brazilian would be a good addition. Spurs have Winks and Ndombele as their reliable midfield options right now and the Frenchman has been quite injury prone since his arrival. It is important to add more depth to the position and Gerson seems ideal. The 22-year-old is a prodigious young talent and he is highly rated in Brazil. Not only is he a good passer, but he can also create chances and provide defensive cover as well. Gerson is a complete mi...
