Inter forward Hakan Calhanoglu believes the Nerazzurri are the team to beat after winning the Scudetto last term. ‘Roma and Napoli? We are the favourites’.
The Turkey international joined Inter on a free transfer from local rivals Milan during the summer and spoke to Il Corriere dello Sport ahead of the match against Atalanta on Saturday.

Napoli are top of the league with five wins in five, while Roma, Milan and Atalanta continue to push the giants in Serie A.
“A lot of teams could be in the battle until the end,” Calhanoglu told the newspaper. “Roma and Napoli have both had a great start, but Atalanta are there too.
“I don’t know who else could join us. We are the favourites after the win last season.”
Calhanoglu finished second with Milan last term and the two sides are tied on points at second in Serie A after five games.
