ROME (Reuters) - Not long after Inter Milan’s Serie A title win was confirmed on Sunday, Romelu Lukaku was filmed singing at the top of his voice and waving a black-and-blue shirt from the window of a car.

The Belgian striker could not resist the temptation to join in with the celebrations as fans flooded the streets after the Nerazzurri had ended an 11-year wait to be crowned Italian champions.

It is hard to argue with his assessment. Lukaku has scored 21 league goals this season, while his assist against Crotone on Saturday made him the first player to produce at least 20 goals and 10 assists in a single Serie A season since Opta began collecting data in 2004-05. "The most difficult transfer negotiation was certainly Lukaku, but Conte was convinced that he would make a big difference and he was right," CEO Giuseppe Marotta told Sky Italia.Lukaku made an immediate impact. He changed diet, lost weight and gained form, scoring 10 goals in his first 13 Serie A games to equal Istvan Nyers's 71-year-old record for the best start to a debut season at Inter.

Lukaku made another explosive start to this campaign, scoring 11 goals in his opening 12 league games, and played a starring role during key moments in Inter’s title run.
