Inter Milan fullback Federico Dimarco feels they've improved since Romelu Lukaku's departure.

Inter sit clear at the top of the table after a shaky start following Lukaku's sale to Chelsea.

Dimarco said: "Romelu did very important things here, however Inter were not just Lukaku and they are showing that with new players like Dzeko and Correa who have done very well so far.

"I've always believed in this team, even when we were seven points behind Milan and Napoli."

On the prospect of signing a new deal, Dimarco added: "I prefer to stay focused on the pitch and not distract myself from the things that matter. I can't wait to sign it."
