And Lukaku, 24, created history when the club's official confirmation of his move was retweeted by 93,000 fans.
The previous record was he 88,000 achieved by close pal Paul Pogba last summer when he made his world-record switch.
His performances on the field will be the major factor in the powerful Belgian justifying his huge fee, which could rise to £90m.
