“I must thank my team-mates, the coach, the backroom staff and the fans. Everyone has helped me from day one,” Lukaku told Radiotelevisione italiana, Rai after the match at San Siro.

“Inter were my best option. I can grow here and I can give my contribution. My role is to help the team in any way and I know that the fans like this. I must keep this up.

“Obviously, scoring is the objective, however, I’m not just thinking about myself, but also the team. I’m here to achieve this and I hope to win something. However, for now, I’m only focused on Lecce.”
