Romelu Lukaku: Inter Milan perfect for me

Romelu Lukaku says Inter Milan is the "perfect" club for him.

The striker left Manchester United for the Nerazzurri this summer.

He told ESPN: “Inter is an ambitious club. It wants to get back where it needs to be. I want to help them build something here. It's the right move for me.

“The guy can make a team. It's already like the guys have been there for many, many years together, even the ones who just arrived. It's the strangest thing.

“They embraced me and I embraced them. It's like I've been part of it for many months. It's important for me to express myself to my teammates.

“It's important for me as a player that they understand me perfectly. How I want the ball. Where I want the ball. In front of the defender, beside the defender, behind the defender.

“I have to know those exact words in Italian because the subtleties are different in every language. There's no substitute for that.

“I don't think you say, 'you have to win.' [We have a] new Coach, new team, new way of playing, so it's one game at a time.

“We're learning. But we have to move the right way. And we have to make it clear that that every time you face Inter, it's a battle."
