Romelu Lukaku has revealed that he has watched a handful of Chelsea’s previous games ahead of his second potential debut for the club.
The Belgian became the Blues’ club record signing this summer as he secured a £97.5million move from Serie A champions Inter Milan.
With Chelsea having set their sights on a striker in the January transfer window, the 28-year-old certainly ticks all of the boxes, with there now being plenty of anticipation ahead of his first outing as a Blue.
Lukaku has suggested that he has been doing extra work off the training field in order to quickly strike-up a relationship with his new teammates.
Speaking to Sky Sports ahead of this weekend’s clash with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, he said: "Tactically, I see the game totally different.
“I'm really interested in the movements some players make. So for the last week, I've been watching the last seven or eight games of the team and try to know what the movements and what the coach is trying to expect from us in every game, so when I come in, I can just move."
Lukaku will certainly hope that the extra work will help him continue his stunning record when turning out for a new club for the first time.
Throughout his career, he has scored on his debut for four of the six clubs he has represented throughout his career - a statistic which could certainly be a good omen ahead of a trip to the Emirates Stadium.
His record against Arsenal is not all too inspiring however. Lukaku has netted on just three occasions against the Gunners in 17 career appearances, the last of those coming in a 3-1 reverse during the 2016/17 season when he was still an Everton player.
