Romelu Lukaku has set a new scoring record at Inter Milan
By Durim Halimi
Romelu Lukaku is flying high in his debut season with Inter Milan after setting an incredible scoring record for the Nerazzuri with four months remaining in the season.
Romelu Lukaku has taken the Serie A by storm with his performances this season. It has only taken the Belgian international 29 games across all competitions to score 20 goals for the Nerazzuri, which makes Lukaku the fastest player to score 20 goals in the club’s history.
Seeing that football legends like Ronaldo, Hernan Crespo and Ruben Sosa, to name a few, all played for Inter Milan, Lukaku’s ability to set this record is quite impressive.
In total, Lukaku has 16 goals to his name in Serie A action, but he scored twice in the Coppa Italia and scored two goals in the Champions League. After facing heavy criticism from fans at Manchester United last season, it is safe to say that Lukaku has put that experience behind him.
