ROMA fans have reportedly damaged vehicles in their attempts to catch a glimpse of new signing Romelu Lukaku.
The striker is set to complete a season-long loan move from Chelsea.
Lukaku, 30, landed in Rome airport on Wednesday ahead of the switch and he was greeted with a warm welcome.
But some Roma supporters got a little carried away and went to extreme lengths to see the Belgian touch down in Italy.
Some fans climbed on cars and left multiple roofs and bonnets with huge dents.
Lukaku waved at fans as he stepped off the plane before high-fiving those behind metal fences.
