  • Romelu Lukaku was arrested in Los Angeles on Friday after police officers were sent to his rented mansion six times for a day-time party, according to TMZ Sport.

    The report claims the 24-year-old was arrested and then released after he threw a party at his rented Beverly Hills mansion and repeatedly ignored police warnings to keep the noise down.

    He was cited for misdemeanour disturbing the peace and was not brought to the police station or formally booked with no indication of the type of punishment he could face.

    The news comes hot on the heels of Lukaku edging closer to a move to Manchester United.

    Everton and United have agreed a fee of £75milllion with the striker set to undergo a medical and agree personal terms ahead of a switch to Old Trafford.

    A statement on United’s website read: “Manchester United is delighted to announce that it has agreed a fee with Everton for the transfer of Romelu Lukaku.
    “A further announcement will be made in due course.”

    Lukaku has also been the subject of interest from former club Chelsea, but United have made their move in a bid to reunite him with manager Jose Mourinho.

    United are due to fly to California on Sunday to start their pre-season tour against the Los Angeles Galaxy the following weekend and Lukaku, who has been on holiday on the west coast of America, is staying in the United States for the time being.

    Lukaku has been holidaying with close friend and United midfielder Paul Pogba. Early on Friday morning, the Red Devils’ £89million world-record signing posted an Instagram story of the pair training together in LA.
