Jordan Zacharie Lukaku Menama Mokelenge (born 25 July 1994) is a Belgian footballer who plays as a left back for Italian club Lazio and the Belgian national team.

Club career

Lukaku was first included in a senior matchday squad on 1 December 2011, remaining an unused substitute in Anderlecht's 2–1 win at AEK Athens in the group stage of the season's UEFA Europa League. His debut came the following 6 April when he started in a goalless Pro League game at Standard Liège; he totalled six appearances as his team won the league that season. However, he did not play at all as they retained the title the following campaign, only making the bench twice. On 21 July 2013, he came on as an 87th-minute substitute for Matías Suárez as Anderlecht won the year's Belgian Super Cup 1–0 against Genk at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium.^[2]

Lazio

On 22 July 2016, he signed with Italian club Lazio for €5 million plus €1 million in performance-related bonuses.^[3]

International career

On 10 October 2015, Lukaku made his senior debut for the national team in a 4–1 win in a UEFA Euro 2016 qualification match against Andorra; the victory qualified his team to the finals.^[4]

In his next game on the following 29 March, he replaced Guillaume Gillet in the 59th minute of a friendly away to Portugal in Leiria, and sent in the cross that was headed in by his brother as consolation in a 2–1 loss.^[5]

He was selected for UEFA Euro 2016, wearing shirt number 21. He made one appearance in the tournament, playing 75 minutes in place of the injured Jan Vertonghen in Belgium's 3–1 quarterfinal defeat to Wales.

Personal life

Lukaku was born in Antwerp. His father is Roger Lukaku, who played professional football and was capped at international level by Zaire.^[6] He has an older brother, Belgium and Everton striker Romelu Lukaku, who also progressed through the youth academy at Anderlecht.
