Player Analysis: Hakan Calhanoglu

Footballers switching allegiances in Milan is not a rare event at all. For over a century, there have been players that have left Inter for AC Milan or vice-versa.

High-profile moves include the likes of midfielders Clarence Seedorf and Andrea Pirlo moving from the Nerazzurri to the Rossoneri in the 2000s while Inter legend Giuseppe Meazza also had a short stint with AC Milan from 1940 until 1942. 

Hakan Çalhanoğlu left the Diavolo after four seasons and signed for the Biscione on a free transfer this summer and he has adapted well at Inter in his first season with the Nerazzurri. 

With Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen recently having his contract terminated due to his ineligibility to play in Italy, the performances of the Turkey international have taken on a greater level of importance under new Inter coach Simone Inzaghi.
