Everton star Romelu Lukaku: I will always be a Chelsea fan
ROMELU LUKAKU admits he will always support Chelsea despite leaving the club for Everton last summer.
The Belgium international completed a stunning £28million switch to Goodison Park after the 2014 World Cup following a successful loan spell on Merseyside.
Despite moving to Stamford Bridge in 2011 for £17million, Lukaku only managed to make 15 appearances under various managers including Andre Villas-Boas and Roberto Di Matteo.
I will always be a fan of that club
However, it was Jose Mourinho who allowed the 22-year-old to leave for good, but Lukaku admits that Chelsea will always be his number one team.
He told Sport Voetbal: "I will always be a fan of that club. It's not because I left in the wrong circumstances, that feeling disappears. But a footballer wants to play."
