[Mercato] Pandev completes Inter move

Macedonia captain Goran Pandev has signed a four-and-a-half year contract with Inter after terminating his deal with Lazio.

The striker won a legal battle with Lazio in December and was freed of his contract after the Roman club refused to sell him for less than €19million in the summer, a move which effectively priced him out of the market.

The 26-year-old was frozen out of the first-team squad by Lazio President Claudio Lotito and branded a 'rebel'.

As a result Pandev is yet to make an appearance this term but became popular with the Biancocelesti faithful having scored 48 league goals in 159 appearances during his five years at the Stadio Olimpico.

Pandev, who was owned by Inter between 2002-2004 and loaned out to Spezia and Ancona, could make his debut as early as Wednesday against Chievo when Serie A resumes after the winter break.
