&ldquo;I was sitting in my hotel room in Brussels when the phone went to tell me I was going out on loan again,&rsquo; Lukaku said. &lsquo;It was 7 pm, and that was the first I knew of it. There had not been a mention of it before then, but after speaking to my parents, I decided to take the plunge.<br />

&ldquo;I talked to the manager as well, and while what he said was confidential, it just underlined that he is the best coach I have worked with. Some beat about the bush, but he comes out straight and tells you what he thinks. As a player, that is what you want.&rdquo;
