#2 An archetypal Chelsea striker
Diego Costa, and Didier Drogba before him embody all that Chelsea fans have come to love in their forwards – the aggression, the leadership, the never-say-die spirit, and of course, the goals. Even with sumptuous talent alongside them, their importance and standing in their respective sides were never questioned.
Strikers like Torres and Sturridge failed to make the cut at Chelsea – nimble, fleet-footed attackers who thrive upon service provided to them rather than grabbing the game by the scruff of the neck themselves.
Lukaku seems the poster boy for the next successful Chelsea number 9. Strong, tall, with a frightening burst of pace and an eye for goal, the Belgian star can seamlessly take the mantle from Costa and help Chelsea defend its Premier League title.
