“The welcome I’ve received from this club and its fans has excited me and given me even more motivation to give my all for my new team,” Lukaku said.
“I recently got the opportunity to speak with the owners and I was impressed by their ambition. Now we must work, be humble and grow game by game.”
Lukaku had two successful loan spells at Inter Milan, winning the league title and Italian Cup.
Roma have one point from its first two Serie A matches this season and will need Lukaku’s wealth of experience when they host Italian giants AC Milan on Friday.
