Chelsea loanee Romelu Lukaku enjoyed another prolific evening on international duty last night as Belgium routed Azerbaijan.
In a 5-0 win to round off qualifying for the upcoming European Championships, the striker found the net four times, all in the first half.
His celebration of the moment is what has particularly captured the attention of a number of supporters, who will be well acquainted with the self-confidence the player has.
According to SportBible, after running to the camera the Belgian shouted “I’m him”, potentially looking to send a message to those who have been doubting him in recent years.
Despite still technically belonging to Chelsea, many supporters were hoping the club found a solution to see him permanently sold over the summer.
Even with his undoubted talent in front of goal being something desperately lacking at Stamford Bridge, the problems he brought off the field in such a short period of time is exactly what they are looking to avoid in the coming years.

While it was reported that new manager Mauricio Pochettino was willing to at least have a conversation with Lukaku about a potential return, the prospect never really emerged for either party.
Instead, he made the move back to Serie A, this time playing for Roma under former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho.
He has impressed greatly during his spell in Italy, scoring nine goals in all competitions already.
It has been claimed that there is a deal in place for the Italian side to sign him permanently at the end of the season following being impressed by him during the early stages of the campaign.
However, this has not been confirmed, and the headache Chelsea faced trying to get rid of him last summer will be fresh in their memory.
