Im fit, 100% ready to go, Lukaku added.For me, its also like a little emotional moment because after many years (Im) going back to Turkey, where I lived as a young kid, where I discovered the professional world as a toddler with my dad, added Lukaku, whose father Roger played for Genclerbirligi.Its going to be special and a very emotional moment to be back there. Im very proud that it is with Fenerbahce.Fenerbahce finished second in the league last season, losing the title to Galatasaray by three points.
