The Italian media have already made up their minds on Romelu Lukaku at Napoli after his move from Chelsea

The Italian media have already had their say on Romelu Lukaku, just months after he completed his transfer to Napoli.

Lukaku made the summer switch from Chelsea after a poor spell at Stamford Bridge overall.

Having spent the majority of his time at Stamford Bridge in Italy, the Belgian forward is seemingly well settled back in a league he knows well.

His move to Napoli has seen him reunite with Antonio Conte with the pair having enjoyed success in the past at Inter Milan together.

With Napoli having also recruited the likes of Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour, hopes are high for the Serie A giants this season following their raft of Premier League purchases.

Napoli's reliance on Lukaku has already been questioned with La Gazzetta dello Sport providing an early insight into his spell so far in Naples.

Gianluca Monti wrote: "Lukaku was his obsession and we already saw why against Parma, but yesterday in Cagliari it was clear that Napoli is already Lukaku dependent: "give him the ball and we'll close the gap", the new mantra after years of ball possession.

"The verticality that makes the difference, the man to look for in times of difficulty but also to get the team going. Big Rom is Conte's ideal centre forward, capable of exchanging short passes with Kvara and sending him to the goal but also of scoring with ease. In short, the Belgian is proving Conte right - once again and just like in his Inter days."

It makes for an interesting discussion, especially given the abundance of talent available to Conte at present.

Bidding to wrestle the Serie A title back from Inter this season, the former Chelsea boss has been outspoken in his desire to succeed this term.

“I think we did it well with the midfielders," he said after the 0-0 draw with other likely title challengers Juventus recently.

"Romelu still needs to get into the kind of shape that I require. I chose this system because I feel that with the squad at my disposal, this is the best approach, he added.

“We worked on this system, I am moderately satisfied with the defence, but we could’ve done far better in attack and I think we had the clearest scoring opportunities.

"I realise it is not easy to play at the Allianz Juventus Stadium, which is why I made this stadium my fortress when I was here.”
