Romelu Lukaku was mobbed by enthusiastic Napoli fans on Wednesday, as he arrived for his medical at an exclusive clinic in Rome ahead of a 30 million euros (US$ 33.32m) move from Chelsea.
The Belgian international flew in to Campino Airport near the Italian capital and reached the Villa Stuart facility shortly afterwards.
It was there that he was greeted by loud chanting and singing from a large crowd and it took the 31 year-old striker some time to enter the building.
One fan seemingly fell to the ground in the chaos and Lukaku stopped to help him before moving on.
The Napoli deal means that Lukaku will reunite with former Chelsea coach Antonio Conte and brings to an end a difficult six-year association with the London club, split over two spells.
He initially moved to Chelsea as a teenager from his first club Anderlecht in 2011, but failed to make an impression and was loaned out to West Bromwich Albion and Everton before he was bought by the latter in 2014 for a then club record fee of UK£ 28 million (US$ 37m).
Lukaku subsequently moved on to Manchester United and then Inter Milan before he re-signed for Chelsea in August 2021 for another club record UK£ 97.5 million (US$ 128.8m).
He fell out of favour with Blues boss Thomas Tuchel and was loaned back to Inter for the 2022-23 season.
Another loan spell at Roma followed for last season, before Napoli and Chelsea made their current agreement.
