Former Inter Milan midfielder Luis Figo has been impressed by Romelu Lukaku this season.

Lukaku has 23 goals in all competitions this term.

“He has been fantastic this year. He is happy, and I think you notice it," Figo told L'Avenir.

“He scores a lot, it helps if the team is solid and believe in their chances of winning the Scudetto.

“There are many differences between Serie A and the Premier League, but he doesn't surprise me.

“When you have a sense of goal like that, you will always score, even if you play in China.

“In theory, it is more difficult to score in Italy than in England, because there is less space and the teams are tactically stronger, but he is doing a great job."
