Romelu Lukaku, a striker for Chelsea, has spoken out after completing a loan move to Inter Milan for the duration of one year.
The agreement was finalized on Wednesday, after the Belgian striker arrived in Italy for medicals and to sign his contract.
Lukaku said he had kept in touch with Inter coach Simone Inzaghi after leaving the club last summer and was glad to be back.
When asked what convinced him to return, he said: “The affection of the fans and my team-mates, but also the opportunity to work with the coach. I stayed in contact with him all last season. I think the coach is doing well with the team. I want to contribute and do good for this club.
“It’s like coming home. I think my family and I had a really good time in Milan thanks to the people, the fans and my team-mates. From the first day when I arrived here everyone helped me a lot, I’m really happy.
“I didn’t even leave my home when I went to England, which shows how happy I am to be back here. Now I just want to see the guys on the pitch.”
