Inter's Number 9: The History of the Shirt as Romelu Lukaku Takes Coveted Number

One of the longest running transfer sagas of the summer finally drew to a close on Thursday, as Romelu Lukaku sealed a move to Italy with Inter.

The Belgian will wear the number 9 shirt after his prolonged £74m move from Manchester United; the shirt which was undoubtedly Lukaku's preference, and one which a club record signing should be good enough to demand. The iconic shirt has been worn by some of the best footballers to grace the game, and Lukaku will be hoping he can emulate them.
