Another element that leaned in the scale: the presence of his compatriot and selection friend, Romelu Lukaku. “Romelu was happy (transfer), I told him about our national team gathering

“The club continues to strengthen its workforce … I hope to be able to help the team progress and I will also learn from them, a new way of playing, a new competition”, concluded from Bruyne.
