Romelu Lukaku has told reporters that he was just as surprised as everyone else when he found out about a loan move away from Chelsea. The Belgian international joined Everton on transfer deadline day.
“I was sitting in my hotel room in Brussels when the phone went to tell me I was going out on loan again,’ Lukaku said. ‘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 />
“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.”
