Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku is excited to be joining AS Roma.

Lukaku has signed on a season-long loan with Roma today.

He said, "The welcome that this club and these fans have given me has moved me and represents a further incentive to give everything for my new team. I breathed in the atmosphere of the Olimpico Stadium as an opponent, I felt the warmth of the Roman fans and today it is nice to know that I will be part of it.

"I had the opportunity to meet with the owners in recent days and was struck by their ambition.

"Now we have to work, be humble and grow game after game: for my part, I can't wait to make myself available to my teammates, on and off the pitch."
