Romelu Lukaku arrested after noise complaint in Los Angeles as £75m Manchester United transfer edges closer

Romelu Lukaku faces court action in the US over "excessive noise" at a residence in Beverly Hills, police said.

The striker, who is on the verge of a £75 million move from Everton to Manchester United, was arrested on July 2 at around 8pm after being given verbal warnings by officers.

A Beverly Hills Police Department statement, naming him as Romelu Lukaku Bolingoli, said the 24-year-old must appear at a Los Angeles courthouse in October.

A spokesman confirmed it was the Belgian international striker, who had posted pictures of him in LA on his Instagram and Twitter accounts.

The police said: "On July 2 2017, at approximately 8pm, Beverly Hills Police Department officers arrested a 24-year-old male subject by the name of Romelu Lukaku Bolingoli.

"Bolingoli received a misdemeanour citation for Beverly Hills Municipal Code Violation 5-1-104 - Excessive Noise.

"The citation was issued after officers responded to five other noise complaints from the same location, which resulted in verbal warnings.

"These noise violations occurred at a residence in Beverly Hills where Bolingoli was temporarily residing.

"Bolingoli was released at the scene with the citation and was not physically arrested."

Lukaku is currently on holiday in Los Angeles with friend and soon-to-be team-mate Paul Pogba.

The Belgian's move to United will see him net upwards of £200,000-per-week, with add ons and bonuses potentially making it a world record transfer, surpassing Pogba's move from Juventus last summer.
