Romelu Lukaku has announced he has signed for American rapper Jay-Z's Roc Nation Sports.

The Belgium international flew to America last month following the Chelsea game to finalise the deal and officially announced it on his social media pages after the win against Bournemouth.

There have been reports the link-up means he has cut ties with his controversial agent Mino Raiola though that is unconfirmed.

Roc Nation Sports will likely handle Lukaku's talent management and commercial opportunities, especially in America.

Lukaku made reference to the new deal with his goal celebration after scoring United's second in the win against Bournemouth.

Having scored his 16th Premier League goal of the season the 24-year-old made a diamond sign with his hand.

The symbol has been used by Jay-Z for years and Lukaku used a picture of his celebration to announce his big news on Twitter.

"You're looking at the newest member of the Roc Nation family!" Lukaku tweeted.

Lukaku became the second footballer to join the agency, following in the footsteps of Bayern Munich and German international Jerome Boateng.

“Roc Nation Sports offers me something nobody else can offer – the unique opportunity to build myself into a global brand while also supporting my growth as an athlete”, Lukaku said.

“One of the first things I noticed about the agency was the depth of opportunities they create for their clients, be it marketing, media, philanthropy or brand building. I’m very excited to join their impressive roster of athletes and artists, and I look forward to growing alongside the company as it continues to expand internationally.”
