After the game, Conte said to DAZN: “I believe him [Lukaku] can get even stronger.
“I described him as a diamond in the rough when he arrived and thought that the work would help him become one of the best strikers in the world.
‘He’s on the right track as he has it all, the physicality of a center forward but also the pace and strength of an American football quarterback.
‘He does it well, understands what to do, is humble and works for the team. I am very happy with him. ‘
Lukaku’s goal in the 16th minute against Bologna gave Inter not only a two-point lead over AC Milan, but also a personal milestone.

Lukaku has scored a total of eight goals in his first nine league games this season.
Lukaku has also found the net in all of his first four home games in the 2020/21 Serie A season – and with Christian Vieri is one of the few Inter players who have managed this feat.
With this in mind, Inter would like to start transfer talks with the striker to secure his future at San Siro.
Lukaku’s formidable form has attracted various clubs including Serie A rivals Juventus.
Although Lukaku’s current deal is set to run until the summer of 2024, it is believed that Inter are already starting negotiations to bind him to a new deal.
