Chelsea striker Lukaku passes Roma medical

Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku passed his Roma medical yesterday.

Lukaku touched down in Rome before the Belgian underwent his medical tests.

He was greeted by large crowds at the local airport, with co-owner Dan Friedken piloting the jet.

Lukaku will join Roma on a season-long loan for a fee of €5m. He will also accept a wage reduction from €12m to €7.5m for the season.

The centre-forward will sign his deal on Wednesday.
