Everton striker Romelu Lukaku has admitted that he will "always" hold a fondness for former club Chelsea.
The Belgium international moved to Merseyside last summer for a reported £28m fee after struggling for regular first-team football at Stamford Bridge.
Despite moving on from the West London outfit, Lukaku has insisted that he is still a "fan" and he congratulated national teammate Eden Hazard when Chelsea won the title.
"I'll always be a fan of that club," Lukaku told SportVoetball. "Just because I left under the wrong circumstances, the feeling doesn't disappear.
"They say 'what if you hadn't gone?' But a footballer wants to play. I sent a message after the title to Eden Hazard, as I do if he scores or gives an assist."
Lukaku spent three years at Chelsea.
