Lukaku had already revealed Antonio Conte played a key role in convincing him to join the Nerazzurri. Why does the Italian coach adore him?

"Because I know how to do everything he wants from me. I know how to attack and defend, play inside the box or run into open spaces. And also for my mentality.

"Conte has no fear about hard work, if you play for him, you must be aware you'll have to work hard."

Lukaku said he watches "six football games every week," but he also follows basketball.

"I support Los Angeles Lakers. Kobe Bryant was everything for me. I try to imitate his mentality and his love for sports," the 27-year-old said.

Lukaku has clear ideas about his future as well. "I want to become a coach, but I will start from the youth teams and take a step at a time," he concluded.
