Belgium Coach Roberto Martinez credits the new experience at Inter with making ex-Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku “free and happy.”
The centre-forward’s change after two goals in as many Serie A games has impressed on international duty.
“This is the first time I have seen him free and happy,” Martinez said in a Press conference ahead of today’s Euro 2020 qualifier with Scotland.
“Going back to many camps I have not seen Rom so focused, so happy, so refreshed by the new challenge.

“Going back to many camps I have not seen Rom so focused, so happy, so refreshed by the new challenge.
“I think he is now ready to face one of the biggest footballing chapters in his career with the Inter Milan move.
“His life is football, he just lives to score goals and to be effective for the national team and at club level.”
Lukaku finally pushed through the transfer to join Antonio Conte’s Inter for €65m plus bonuses.
