Lukaku convinced Sanchez to join Inter

“We can talk about a championship, I am here to win something. The team has not won for eight years, but has everything to do it.

“The group is young and strong, there is a coach who wants to win. The presence of Conte was important, he conveys confidence to the players. Lukaku is happy to be here, he also convinced me to come here.”

Those are the words of new Inter Milan star Alexis Sanchez, who confirmed that fellow Manchester United alumni Romelu Lukaku convinced him to make the switch over to Serie A – and to the San Siro.

Both Lukaku and Sanchez had been struggling to find any kind of consistent form with the Red Devils over the course of the last few months, to the point where it seemed like just a matter of time until they made their respective exits.

Now, they’ve got the chance to give their careers a well-needed shot in the arm with this ‘second chance’ of sorts with Inter.
