ROMELU LUKAKU has put pen to paper on a contract with Jay Z and his Roc Nation Sports agency.
It means the Manchester United star has become the first Premier League star to sign with the US music king.
It is likely Roc Nation will take care of his talent management and commercial opportunities.
SunSport revealed how Jay Z originally targeted Lukaku’s Old Trafford team-mate Marcus Rashford.
But Lukaku, 24, was officially “welcomed to the family” during a trip to New York last month.
And now he has officially signed the deal, which will go down in history.
You’re looking at the newest member of the @RocNation family!

It was while he was in the Big Apple, while taking in a basketball game between the Brooklyn Nets and Chicago Bulls, that Lukaku, whose football agent is Mino Raiola, joined the team.
He posed for a photo with Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette and wide receiver Victor Cruz.
