New Napoli striker Romelu Lukaku has been honoured in what is becoming a local tradition – seeing himself become a cake effigy.
The centre-forward finally completed his long-awaited transfer from Chelsea and promptly scored on his debut.
He was portrayed in cake form with a chocolate sponge, chocolate ganache and chocolate nibs to represent his beard.
Light blue icing added the Napoli jersey touches, along with eyes and a smile.
This same bakery had also created the Victor Osimhen design last year and got to present it to the man himself, so they will be hoping to do the same with the Belgium international.

What the … he hasn’t done or achieved anything yet, and they’ve already treated him like a saviour??
