Inter want Lasagna as Lukaku's substitute

All great teams need enough players to be able to perform even if their stars are unavailable. Italian clubs have a clear plan for the next transfer window: get a striker who is happy to play second fiddle. 

An Italian striker could join the Inter side. It would be Lasagna, who at 27 years old, is a reference in the Udinese attack. He arrived for 4.5 million euros from Carpi, where he shined a lot in his recent spell. 

Straight after changing teams, he scored 14 goals and two assists in 47 matches. He started 35 of those. His figures have got worse since then, but they are still enough to be Lukaku's replacement. 

'TuttoSport' assures that the board have got him in mind for the January transfer window. The measure could be motivated by the fact that, in recent weeks, the striker has been used a super sub under Igor Tudor. 

He could also become a vital reinforcement if we bear in mind that Alexis, who came from Manchester United, got injured not long back. He could be out for up to three months. If that is the case, he would need a substitute.
