Chelsea signing Romelu Lukaku is delighted with his move to Stamford Bridge.
Lukaku became a Chelsea fan after watching Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink score at Old Trafford in a 3-3 draw with Manchester United almost 11 years ago.
It was enough for the seven-year-old Lukaku to pledge his support to the west London club and begin a journey which has now seen him become a member of their star-studded squad.
"I used to watch Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink scoring goals and remember one against Manchester United, the volley at Old Trafford, and I decided I wanted to support this team," Lukaku told his new club's official website.
Lukaku's own footballing talent was such that he soon began to fantasise about emulating his idols.
"I dreamed to play here since I was 10 years old, thinking about shaking hands with all those players like John Terry and Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba," he added.
"It's amazing to arrive here in a big club with big ambition. It was just what I was searching for."
