New Chelsea signing Romelu Lukaku admits it was Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’s effort against Man Utd that convinced him to follow Chelsea.
The Dutch ace played over 130 games for the Blues and Lukaku admits it was a particular goal almost 11 years ago against Manchester United that convinced him of his desire for Chelsea.
“I used to watch Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink scoring goals and remember one against Manchester United, the volley at Old Trafford, and I decided I wanted to support this team,” Lukaku told his new club’s official website.
Lukaku’s own footballing talent was such that he soon began to fantasise about emulating his idols.
“I dreamed to play here since I was 10 years old, thinking about shaking hands with all those players like John Terry and Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba,” he added.
“It’s amazing to arrive here in a big club with big ambition. It was just what I was searching for.”
