MAXI J1820+070 is a likely new black-hole transient discovered by MAXI (ATel ) and followed-up with Swift.The lightcurve obtained with Swift/XRT shows a large variability and a possible QPO at 3e-3 Hz. An INTEGRAL observation in this phase could be particularly critical to study the broad-band emission of the source as blackhole in the hard states usually show a spectrum extending to several 100 keVs an energy band where only INTEGRAL can provide coverage.We believe that such observation would provide the entire community very interesting data to be exploited also together with the other facilities that will certainly point to the source shortly.
