Chelsea have won the race for £20million-rated sensation Romelu Lukaku. The teen whiz is set for a medical at Stamford Bridge after the blues prised him away from Anderlecht. Lukaku, who had been a target for Arsenal, hit the headlines when he topped the Belgian scoring charts aged just 16. A blues spokesman said: 'An agreement has been reached with Anderlecht for the transfer to Chelsea of striker Romelu Lukaku. The move is now subject to the player passing medical and agreeing personal.
Bout time. I've waited about 7 months for them to finally sign him and not really sure what took so long. I've already planned to name my first two dogs Dider and Romelu and that wouldn't be possible if they let him some how slip to Arsenal which is a fucking joke to even think about. Just wouldn't have ever happened. One, because Lukaku only wants to play for Chelsea. And two, even if he did, he'd realize after a season what a dead end Arsenal is. From a roster perspective for Chelsea, I think its a perfect fit. It was already going to be interesting to see what Villa Boas was going to do personnel wise, now its even more interesting. I don't think anyone is expecting Lukaku to come in and dominate this season and be a first team regular, but in terms of the future, this is the perfect young player to pick up. Has the size, speed, and power that you need in a Premier League striker (certainly more than Neymar). With Anelka sure to leave next season and Drogba probably with two more years left in him, Lukaku will have plenty of time to adjust and be ready to do work next season.
P.S. If Villa-Boas had any balls he'd try and swap Torres for Sneijder..just sayin
