Italian coaching icon Luigi Cagni can see Romelu Lukaku transforming Inter Milan into Serie A contenders.

Inter and Manchester United are in advanced talks over a fee for the Belgium striker.

And should Inter clinch an agreement, Cagni has no doubts about the impact Lukaku would make.

He told TMW: "Lukaku is a beautiful striker.

"If he joins and (Roma striker Edin) Dzeko, then Inter becomes dangerous."

Cagni also said, "If I were the coach of Inter, I wouldn't want (Mauro) Icardi. He's not my attacker and I speak on a technical level, I don't focus on the dynamics related to his wife. He's a 16-metre phenomenon, but in my team he can't just play there."
