Sound familiar Chelsea fans? Torres backed to find best form after nightmare start

AC Milan coach Filippo Inzaghi is convinced Fernando Torres can rediscover his best form at the San Siro despite a nightmare start to his career in Italy.

Torres failed to make any impact at Chelsea and was hoping for a fresh start following his two-year loan move to the Italian giants during the summer.

But the Spanish forward has only netted one goal in nine appearances and has struggled to get on the scoresheet.

Inzaghi has no doubts that Torres has the ability to be one of the best forwards in Serie A and hopes he can follow in the footsteps of Hernan Crespo who also had a slow start to life in Italy, but then quickly got back among the goals.

Inzaghi, speaking in Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, said: "We're on the right track. It just takes a little bit of patience. So far a lot of players have scored goals, just not the strikers, apart from Honda.

"Goals from Torres and Pazzini will come. I hope Torres will be like Crespo under Ancelotti, who for months didn't score, then he broke his duck and became…Crespo.

"So far Torres has been struggling with an ankle injury, but now it's better and I thought he played very well in Genoa [in a 2-2 draw with Sampdoria]."
