Moratti identifies Eder as answer to Inter goal woes - 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, having dropped to fourth in the table with just one win in their last five Serie A matches.

Roberto Mancini's side have amassed 41 points, despite scoring only 26 times in 21 league games 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.

"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."
