Romelu Lukaku congratulates brother Jordan ahead of imminent Lazio transfer

Romelu Lukaku has congratulated his younger brother, Jordan, who is on the verge of a transfer to Lazio.

The siblings featured for Belgium this summer in the Red Devils'run to the quarter-finals of Euro 2016, and both have been heavily linked with summer moves.

Though the Everton striker is not close to a deal, the Oostende defender has confirmed he is nearing an agreement with Serie A giants Lazio, having already arrived in Rome.

Now, 23-year-old Romelu has sent his best wishes to his younger brother, tweeting: "First of all congrats on your move and work hard! Good luck."

Jordan, who will celebrate his 22nd birthday next week, is yet to play outside of his home nation, having developed through the Anderlecht youth system.

Due to numerous injuries, he started in Belgium's defeat to Wales at the European Championships, but won no tackles or headers during the 3-1 defeat.

The left-back was composed in possession though, displaying the second-best pass accuracy (93%) in Marc Wilmots'XI.

Meanwhile, Romelu was selected for each of his nation's five games, though completed none of them.

He struck twice in a victory over Republic of Ireland, but largely failed to fulfil his potential at the tournament, with zero goals or assists in the other matches.
