The Fridge Full of Cash - Romelu Lukaku

"If you don’t play enough 90 minutes your body will never get used to that. It’s getting him to replicate what he does in 60 minutes for a full 90 minutes. That’s our target over the course of the season."

"I made the decision to go. I wished them the best of luck after I left. I'm not someone who wishes them the worst just because I am not there."

"They are still my team-mates, you know? But when I watch them on TV, I just watch the game like it is any other. I am not shouting and screaming, biting my nails."

"I have my own worries with my own team. All you want to do on the Saturday afternoon is play. People want to see you on the pitch."

"That was why I left Chelsea. I didn't want to hear people saying, 'Hey, he's doing well in training blah blah blah.' The game is what counts. The billions who are watching and following the Premier League don't tune in to see you in training. They want to know what you can do in a match."

Asked whether Mourinho has been in touch since his switch to Everton, Lukaku added: "What we have said is private but they have been in touch and are following me."

"They are keeping up with my improvement. I know what I am doing well at the moment and what I need to improve. I just want to take all those positives to make myself a better player."

“I was keen to go.”

“I thought that I might get a few chances at Chelsea but, when it became clear that I wouldn’t, I knew in my mind that the best thing would be to go out on loan, play regularly, and confirm the good work I’d done at West Brom.”

“It was my decision to leave – and I think I have made a good choice. All I have at the moment is my ­ambition and focus.”

“My goal was always to play ­football, to make my parents proud and then to provide for my family.”

“I know the better it gets the bigger it gets.”

“The better a career gets, the more money, the bigger house, the bigger the car and blah, blah, blah.”

“But that is not my ­ambition. My ambition is just being the best – at everything. Winning games, scoring goals. That’s my thing.”
