Fenerbahçe on Friday officially introduced Romelu Lukaku as their new player. The Belgian striker arrived at the Turkish club after completing a transfer from Napoli and stated that he not only has ambitions to score goals, but also wants to integrate better with the team and its supporters.

Lukaku, who is known to have extraordinary language skills, expressed his intention to learn Turkish in the near future. "I'm thinking of starting studying on Monday," he said enthusiastically. It is hoped that these foreign language skills will help him communicate with his teammates and fans, which is very important for him.

"In every club I play for, I always want to be able to talk to the people around me. I hope that in the next three to four months, I will be able to speak Turkish. This will be a challenge, but I will try my best," he added in an interview session on the Fenerbahçe YouTube channel.

Lukaku's move to Fenerbahçe is very meaningful for him personally. He expressed his gratitude and happiness because he was finally able to join the club he had dreamed of for a long time. "Actually, I've been waiting for this process for a month. It's an honor to be here, this is something I've wanted for a long time," he said.

Lukaku explained that the decision to join Fenerbahçe had deep emotional meaning, especially related to the memories of his father who played in Türkiye. "My father played here in 1996, so this country became a second home for me. I still cherish those memories well. At that time, I already knew that I wanted to become a professional footballer."

He also mentioned that his brother, Jordan, used to play for Fenerbahçe and that the first match he took part in in Türkiye also took place at the same stadium. "My father's last goal in Türkiye came against Fenerbahçe. To be able to play here is something I needed," he added with a proud smile.

Now, Lukaku is looking forward to starting his new journey with Fenerbahçe. The club will kick off the Turkish Super League competition with an away match against Gençlerbirliği on Saturday evening. After that, they will face Olympique Lyon in the Champions League playoffs. Lukaku hopes to be fit again soon and ready to give his best for the team.

What happened next

With Lukaku determined to learn Turkish, it is hoped that he can quickly adapt and contribute to the team's play. Fenerbahçe now has high hopes for Lukaku's performance, especially in scoring goals and helping the development of young players at the club. During this summer's transfer window, Fenerbahçe will probably continue to look for additional players to strengthen their midfield, who could support Lukaku in creating opportunities.
