Antonio Rudiger has described incoming Chelsea teammate Romelu Lukaku as a "beast".

The Belgian has arrived in London to complete his medical after Chelsea agreed to pay Inter Milan around £98m for his signature.

Speaking ahead of the European Super Cup final with Villarreal, Rudiger was complimentary of Lukaku's ability.

"You can see in his body type that he is a beast," Rudiger said, via Goal. "He's someone who is very strong and I think also he showed it in Italy over the past two years. He did very well over there. Also for his national team. He's a goalscorer and for me a top striker.

"I cannot talk about someone who is not a Chelsea player because I don't know anything," he added. "I think I said everything about him about his strengths and that he is a top class striker who loves to score goals."
