Don’t look now but Chelsea FC is preparing for the future. With ace forward Didier Drogba now 33 years old, the Blues are setting their sights on his possible future replacement in 18 year-old Belgian wonder boy Romelu Lukaku of Anderlecht. Lukaku is said to be valued at £20 million. Lukaku spent his early years of football with Rupel Boom and Lierse before hooking up with Anderlecht in 2006. In 2009, Lukaku made his debut with the senior club of Anderlecht and has since appeared in 71 matches so far with 31 career goals. He also suited up for the Belgian U-21 squad in 2008 scoring two goals in five caps. Lukaku later saw action for the Belgian senior team in 2010 with two goals in nine matches so far. Lukaku has long been on the wish list of the Stamford Bridge outfit, according to ESPN-Star Sports.
“Chelsea have reportedly made a bid for Anderlecht striker and long-time target Romelu Lukaku. The Blues have long been leading the chase for the 18-year-old, who is valued at around £20million by his club.”
