As one blue leaves, another arrives.

Departing Everton striker, Romelu Lukaku, has said his goodbyes to Everton Football club and its fans after four years at Goodison Park.

The Belgian forward is on his way to Old Trafford after completing a medical on Monday and is being ready to be officially unveiled sometime this week.

Both clubs agreed on a €84 million (£75 million) transfer fee.

He has been holidaying with a few friends the last week, one of which was United midfielder, Paul Pogba, but took time out from his time off to pen a heart-warming letter to the Evertonians.

Lukaku started by saying a “big thank you to all the people involved at Everton. I want to thank the fans for all your support throughout the 4 years we’ve spend together.”

The Belgian added, “you guys helped me through all my games and I can proudly say it was an honour to play in front of you.

“To the staff at the stadium and training ground, thank you for making me feel home from the first day I walked in.

“To my teammates, it was great to play with you guys. To technical staff, thank you for helping me become a better player.”

Lukaku finished the letter by adding, “working with you guys has been a pleasure and I’ll take your advice throughout the rest of my career. Thank you Everton Football Club.”
