Conte later added, "I have always been vocal about wanting Romelu at Inter. I had even tried to sign him during my time at Chelsea before he joined Manchester United. He is not your typical striker, which is what sets him apart."

"He is extremely tall and physically strong, but also very good at sprinting forward. His condition is still nowhere near optimal, but he becomes fundamental for us. He’s putting in the effort and I never doubted that.

“I hope that Kvara realises we expect many more goals from him as well as assists. Although this game wasn’t entirely suited to his characteristics, I saw a lot of effort from him and Matteo Politano.”
