Chelsea’s Romelu Lukaku said on Monday believes he is now a “complete” striker as the club’s record signing settles back into life at Stamford Bridge.
Lukaku rejoined Chelsea in a £98 million ($135 million) move from Inter Milan last week.
The 28-year-old was unavailable for Chelsea’s 3-0 win against Crystal Palace in their Premier League opener on Saturday.
But Lukaku could make his debut in Sunday's trip to Arsenal and the Belgium forward plans to show how much he has developed since the last time he played for the Blues.
Almost 10 years after arriving in west London as an unknown teenager, Lukaku returns as one of the world's top strikers.
“I just feel more complete; I’ve tried to master all the facets that a striker needs and I just want to keep improving on the small details all the time and keep improving on my strengths as well,” Lukaku told Chelsea’s website.
“I just want to try to help the team win and be available for the manager as well as for my team-mates.
“I want to make sure that they feel comfortable and they can lean on me in whatever situation we’re in.
“The two years in Italy helped me master all the facets of the game for a striker and now I'm ready.”
Lukaku fired 27 goals and laid on 11 assists last term as Inter stormed to the Serie A title.
