Ex-Man Utd striker, Lukaku takes Icard’s jersey number at Inter Milan

Inter Milan’s new signing, Romelu Lukaku, will wear the No. 9 jersey at the club.

The No. 9 shirt was previously worn by Mauro Icardi, Ronaldo, Hernan Crespo and Samuel Eto’o.

The Belgium international joined the Serie A giants on a five-year deal for £73million.

A statement from Inter Milan’s official website read: “Romelu Lukaku, a new addition to Antonio Conte’s Inter side, has selected the shirt number he’ll wear during the 2019/20 season: number 9!”

Speaking after joining Inter, Lukaku said in a short video uploaded on the club’s official Twitter feed: “Inter were the only club I wanted, because Inter is Not For Everyone.

“I’m here to bring the Nerazzurri back to the top.”
