I saw Lukaku laugh again and it made me happy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on his arrival at Inter, Lukaku revealed the club&#8217;s project as his reason for choosing the Nerazzurri, while also citing Antonio Conte as another aspect.<\/p>\n<p>Conte had previously tried to sign Lukaku while manager of Chelsea in 2017, but the Belgian opted to leave Everton for Manchester United.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI chose Inter because of the club\u2019s project,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think Inter are heading in the right direction and I needed a new challenge. Here, the foundations are there to do well.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Through my commitment and my desire to perform, I want to help this team achieve big things. I won&#8217;t get ahead of myself, but I hope we\u2019ll have achieved great results come the end of the season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, the coach was a key factor.

This came despite reports Lukaku was &#8216;too overweight&#8217; to start the first game of the season and meant the Belgian extended his record of goalscoring debuts.<\/p>\n<p>Lukaku has now scored on his first league appearance for his last four clubs, adding Inter to the list of Manchester United, Everton and West Brom.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Romelu Lukaku has now scored on his league debut for each of his last four clubs:<\/p>\n<p>\u2713 West Brom<br \/>\u2713 Everton<br \/>\u2713 Man Utd<br \/>\u2713 Inter Milan<\/p>\n<p>He doesn&#39;t take long to get started. ?\u26ab\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/t5ECfySWMe\">pic.twitter.com\/t5ECfySWMe<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Squawka (@Squawka) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squawka\/status\/1166080060308242438?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 26, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boredom contributed to Romelu Lukaku&#8217;s exit from Manchester United, according to Belgium manager Roberto Martinez.
