Lukaku: Everton was the right choice

Romelu Lukaku has spoken of his happiness with the choice he made in electing to join Everton on loan for the season.

"I'm really happy with this transfer. I don't know who has told the press I was unhappy with this loan," he is quoted by the Belgian media.

"It was a crazy evening. Different clubs called me and I had to take the right decision.

"Roberto Martinez called me for 30 minutes and explained me what he expects from me. I decided that Everton was the best choice. They are a more prominent club than West Brom where I had a good time.

"There are a few things I need to improve in my game, and Everton's footballing approach and possession play can be perfect for me. My movement and runs to the far post and near post could be better, and I have already had a good, long conversation with the manager... about that. I've also known Kevin Mirallas since I was 14, and that should help. We talked about [the loan move] all last night.'

The powerful 20 year-old Belgian international signed for the Blues after a late twist 80 minutes before last night's transfer deadline, a move that sources in London suggest might not have been possible had Demba Ba's desired move to Arsenal not fallen through late in the evening.

And he revealed that Jose Mourinho might have had some bearing on his choice, though he refused to elaborate:

"Also Mourinho talked to me, but what he told me is confidential."
