    Belgium and Napoli striker Romelu Lukaku is considered one of Europe's leading strikers, though he's had a nomadic club career across England and Italy.

    Lukaku is Belgium's all-time leading goalscorer and one of the most expensive strikers in the world.

    His £97.5million transfer to Chelsea in 2021 was a club record, but he failed to live up to expectations and was loaned back to Inter Milan and then AS Roma.

    Before returning to Inter Milan, his second spell at the club, the well-travelled Lukaku also played for Anderlecht, West Bromwich Albion, Everton and Manchester United.

    In August 2023, Lukaku joined Roma on a season-long loan from Chelsea, ending the long-running stand-off between player and club.

    He finally left Chelsea for good before the transfer deadline in August 2024,  completing a £37million switch to Napoli.

    During his career he has won the Serie A and Coppa Italia with Inter Milan, the Belgian Pro League with Anderlecht and the Club World Cup with Chelsea.

    He has also won many personal awards, including the Serie A MVP, Serie A Footballer of the Year and a place in the Serie A Team of the year during the 2020/21 season while with Inter Milan

    Lukaku reportedly earned the nickname 'Rocky' while at Manchester United due to his commitment in training.
