On-loan Chelsea star Romelu Lukaku has, on Sunday, provided a fresh insight into his future.
For those who may have missed it, hitman Lukaku has taken his place front and centre in the Italian media headlines late this evening.
This comes after the Belgian finally exploded into life, in his latest display for Inter Milan.
Amid what has proven an underwhelming campaign all told back at San Siro, Lukaku was afforded a starting berth in Inter’s Serie A meeting with Empoli.
And, in a timely boost for the former Chelsea and Manchester United man, he went on to prove himself the star of the show, courtesy of a stellar display.
En route to an eventual 3-0 triumph, Lukaku played a hand in all three Inter goals, notching a brace, as well as an assist.

This comes ahead of the imminent expiration of his loan terms in Milan.
And Lukaku went on to confirm that, though he must be ‘careful’ when it comes to discussing his plans, he remains happy in Italy, owing to a ‘great relationship’ with the Nerazzurri faithful:
