Inter's new striker has started the season with a bang and has been backed to score more than Juve's main man

Romelu Lukaku will score more Serie A goals than Cristiano Ronaldo this season, according to former Inter attacker Andy van der Meyde.

"Lukaku is a fan of Italian football and I think he's made for this competition," van der Meyde told Juvenews.eu.

"He is strong and can score many goals. He has a very powerful physical structure and this will put all Italian defences in crisis.

"Lukaku can easily beat Ronaldo. He has always shown that he knows how to score wherever he has played, he is a pure centre-forward, while Cristiano plays most of the time out wide."

After a strong summer of signings and with Antonio Conte at the helm, van der Meyde thinks Inter are on the right track but that Juventus will once again prove too strong.

"I think Conte is a good coach for Inter, which will bring stability and this is what Inter needs right now," he said.

"They chose the ideal coach to start over and get back to the top.

"I think the title will go to Juve. They are always the best there is in Italy, the one that has more quality and more players than everyone. I believe that in the end they will win again."

The Old Lady have won the past eight Serie A titles with AC Milan the last different club to win it 2010-11 and Inter winning the league the season prior.
