Romelu Lukaku is happy playing for Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte.

The striker has come off an outstanding first season in Italy.

"Playing in Serie A was one of my dreams," Lukaku told Gazzetta dello Sport.

"My brother (Jordan) was in Lazio and I watched the matches in Italian and when I arrived at Inter I understood everything even if I didn't speak well."

On Conte, he continued: "For me he is like a mentor, a father, a person who understands me really well. I would have liked to play with him six years ago the first time he called me. Playing for him is a dream come true."

Lukaku also spoke of Arturo Vidal, who has arrived from Barcelona: "He is very important, he is a player of great quality. You don't win so much and with different teams if you are not a top player."

And on Italy's best young players, he concluded: "(Nicolo) Barella will be a very important player. He has grown a lot and is impressive, even in his mentality. I also respect (Moise) Kean and (Fede) Chiesa."
