Romelu Lukaku wants to stay at Chelsea

Romelu Lukaku will stay at Chelsea after Jose Mourinho has assured the striker that he will get chances in the next season. The 20-year-old, who was sent on loan to West Brom last season, is expecting to get a chance to prove himself in the next season.

Chelsea have been linked to various strikers this summer which include the likes of Hulk and Edinson Cavani; however, the Belgian international insists that he is set to fight for a place in the team.

Romelu Lukaku said: “I always said my ambition was to play for Chelsea, and now I will go back to Stamford Bridge and try and play even more games than I did at West Brom. If I can score a few early on, it can turn into a really good season for me.

I have had a good conversation with Jose Mourinho, and I know it’s up to me to show I’m worth a place. It is the World Cup next year, and I need to be playing. But if I don’t get in the Chelsea team often enough, then I won’t deserve to be in the national squad. I am not afraid of that. I am determined to succeed with Chelsea next season. I want to prove myself. People will compare me with Didier Drogba, and he was always my hero. But I am my own man, and I want to be known for what I do.”

Romelu Lukaku had a brilliant season with West Brom as he scored 17 goals and also added four assists to his name.
