Lukaku is improving - Henry

Inter Milan striker, Romelu Lukaku, looks better than ever, according to his former Belgium assistant coach, Thierry Henry

Lukaku came off the bench in the 58th minute against Porto the other day before scoring the only goal in the first leg win of the Champions League round of 16.

Inter Milan CEO, Beppe Marotta, had questioned Lukaku's fitness when he told Sky Sport that the forward needs to be in perfect shape to be fit. But Lukaku, who is playing on loan at Inter from Chelsea, gave the perfect answer when he scored the only goal in the 86th minute.

"I'm very happy for Rom," Henry told CBS Sports.

"He looks fitter. I think he was disappointed he didn't start, the only answer you can give is on the pitch, and he did"

Lukaku's future remains uncertain as he has so far been elusive during his season-long loan spell with Inter, scoring four times in 14 appearances.

However, his return to Chelsea last term was equally disappointing

"We had a conversation when he went to Chelsea, and I told him he would find it difficult to play at Chelsea"
