Sampdoria striker Eder is the answer to Inter s goalscoring problems, according to former club president Massimo Moratti.
Inter s Serie A title bid has stuttered over recent weeks, with a solitary win since the mid-season break dropping them to fourth in the table.
Roberto Mancini s side have amassed 41 points, despite scoring only 26 times in 21 league matches this season, and they have been linked with Paris Saint-Germain s Ezequiel Lavezzi along with Eder as possible options to bolster their forward line.
Moratti, who was replaced as Inter owner by Erick Thohir in 2013, believes Sampdoria s 13-goal forward is a better fit than Argentina international Lavezzi.
I think the problem is there, right there – in scoring goals, he told Gazzetta dello Sport. And so I have the impression that Eder is definitely the right player for us.
I think Eder s a player who s capable of contributing a good amount of goals. More than Lavezzi? I think so, although I haven t seen Lavezzi as much.
It s a purely tactical choice in the end and I think that the Sampdoria player is the right signing.
Eder is reported to be a transfer target for surprise Premier League leaders Leicester City.
