Understandably in the week he finished quarantine after joining the Blues, there has been plenty of media interest in the striker. Lukaku has answered questions about his fitness, his relationship with Thomas Tuchel, and how he plans on connecting with his new team-mates on and off the pitch.

When it comes to his focus now, though, the Belgian is steely-eyed about what he wants to achieve at Stamford Bridge. It is collective not personal triumphs he is targeting.

‘I don’t talk about individual records and stuff like that because that’s not me, the only thing I talk about is winning,’ Lukaku said.

‘That’s the thing that matters to me. All the rest is nice but winning is the most important thing.

‘I don’t look forward too much. I’ve never been a guy who talks about personal ambitions. I’ve always tried to just work hard on the training pitch, and then at the end of the day I let my football do the talking. That’s how I’ve always been.

‘The ambition here at Chelsea is very consistent,’ added Lukaku.

‘It’s a very consistent club in terms of winning trophies, that’s what I think, and you can see it’s one of the clubs where you know as a player if you get there you’re going to challenge for multiple trophies. That’s what I like about this club.’

Lukaku’s career has taken him from his hometown club Anderlecht to Chelsea, and then on to Everton, Manchester United and Inter Milan.

Now he is back at the Bridge, the 28-year-old is determined to settle down and make Stamford Bridge his home for what he hopes will be the best years of his career.

‘I have moved between a lot of teams,’ he acknowledged.

‘I have been on loan a couple of times and then stayed at Everton for four years, and after Man United and Inter. Now, coming back here, it’s the right place for me right now.

‘I’m very happy and fortunate to sign a five-year deal at this wonderful club and now I’ll just try to let my work do the talking on the football pitch, and try to achieve as much as possible throughout those years.’

Contributing to a win at the Emirates today would be the perfect start.
