Inter Milan coach Inzaghi hails 'champion' Lukaku; cools Dybala talk

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi has played down the prospect of signing off contract Juventus striker Paulo Dybala.

Inzaghi says he's happy with his attack after the arrival of Romelu Lukaku on-loan from Chelsea.

"Romelu is a champion and knows Lautaro so well. We also saw (Joaquin) Correa do well, while Edin Dzeko arrived ahead of schedule. We had the good fortune to bring Romelu back here and I am very satisfied," said Inzaghi.

“Using Correa as a trequartista behind the strikers is an option, even though it's not our usual tactical system. With so many strikers at our disposal, I can change system from game to game."

Inzaghi was asked if there is room for Dybala to join.

“I am very satisfied with the strike force at our disposal. We were the most prolific team last season in Serie A and brought in Lukaku, so now we'll wait and see what happens on the market in other areas of the team.

“I am constantly in contact with the directors, we must find a replacement for Andrea Ranocchia who can complete the defence."
