Luis Figo has hailed Inter Milan's work in the summer market.

"To have Patrick Vieira here could be a great privilege for me, I see him as a great purchase," said the Portuguese winger.
"But I'm also happy with Fabio Grosso: after a good season with Palermo, I saw him play an extraordinary World Cup. And there's also Olivier Dacourt, who will be of great usefulness."
Asked about pressure on Inter to win this season's Scudetto with Juventus demoted and AC Milan hit by a points deduction, Figo added: "There's no greater pressure than before.
"The important thing is that the Scudetto will this season be won on the field. Inter have proved we have won the title in the past on the field, so there's no extra pressure to prove ourselves this time round."
