    After securing a 75m pound move to Inter Milan from Manchester United, Romelu Lukaku has emerged as an important player in the squad for Antonio Conte.

    The Belgian striker quickly settled at San Siro and hit the ground running,. He finished his debut season with 34 goals. He is presently on seven goals from eight Serie A games and four from four Champions League games. With such a good average goal per game, Lukaku is a player Inter is not ready to joke with.
