Romelu Lukaku has said his final farewell to Everton as his four years at Goodison Park comes to an end.

The Belgian striker’s move to Manchester United is just his official unveiling away from being complete.

And as his new team-mates arrived in Los Angeles, where Lukaku is also holidaying, he wanted to make sure the Toffees faithful knew how he felt about them.

After completing his medical on Sunday morning following the clubs agreeing a fee starting at £75million, he said "a big thank you to all the people involved at Everton".

And when he said everyone, he meant everyone.

 

“I want to say a big thank you to all the people involved at Everton. I want to thank the fans for your support throughout the 4 years we've spend together.

You guys helped me through all my games and I can proudly say it was an honour to play in front of you.

To the staff at the stadium and training ground thank you for making me feel home from the first day i walked in.

To my teammates it was great to play with you guys. To technical staff thank you for helping me become a better player.

Working with you guys has been a pleasure and i'll take ur advice throughout the rest of my career. Thank you everton football club” posted Lukaku on Instagram.
