Joined to Internazionale from Paris St. Germain in 1996. Enhanced reputation in first season in Italy becoming one of Inter's top players, although disappointed to end season without trophy after UEFA Cup final defeat. Striker and midfielder combined, scoring or making goals, Djorkaeff is ideal foil for brazilian star Ronaldo but tends to flicker in and out of matches rather than dictate pace. Capable of moments of genius. Image of his trademark bicycle kick enshrined on 1997-98 Inter season ticket. Transferred to Kaiserslautern in the summer of 1999.
