LUK AT ME NOW
Romelu Lukaku’s resurgence at Inter Milan alongside the experience of Antonio Conte is arguably what fired the Italian giants to the Serie A title this season.
The 27-year-old had big boots to fill replacing former Inter talisman, Mauro Icardi and with all of Lukaku’s heavy criticism at Manchester United, many feared that he wouldn’t live up to expectations.
Despite scoring 46 goals in 96 appearances for the Red Devil’s, Lukaku was perceived as lazy with a poor first touch and horrendous finishing.
However, since the Belgians £76m switch to the Nerazzurri in August 2019, he has silenced the critics by excelling in the colours of blue and black.
In Lukaku’s first season under Antonio Conte, he notched up a goal tally of 23 in the league which helped his new club narrowly miss out on snatching the title from Juventus.
And impressively, the Inter striker succeeded in hitting the 20 mark again this campaign but the big difference is that this time, it led them to obtaining the Scudetto.
Rumours have been circulating around Lukaku’s future at the club, but he is expected to stay at Inter and I’m sure that his next objective will be to hunt for a Champions League winner’s medal.
