Lazio are set to complete the signing of Jordan Lukaku after the Belgium defender underwent a medical in Rome. The full-back, who turns 22 next Monday, arrived in the Eternal City on Thursday after being contacted by the Serie A club just a week ago. Lazio are reportedly set to pay €5 million to Oostende for his services. "I'm really happy," he told reporters upon arrival at Rome's Fiumicino airport, reports La Repubblica. "I'd spoken about it with [Radja] Nainggolan and [Dries] Mertens." The younger brother of Everton forward Romelu Lukaku is expected to sign a three-year contract with the Biancocelesti. Capped six times by his country, he appeared once for the Red Devils at Euro 2016, in their 3-1 round-of-16 defeat to Wales. The Belgium national team tweeted their congratulations to Lukaku for his move to Lazio.
