Romelu Lukaku: A Chelsea FC Legend in the Making
With the high profile transfers of Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri away from Arsenal this summer, Chelsea’s capture of teen sensation of Romelu Lukaku came with comparatively little fanfare.
The signing of Lukaku from Anderlecht is a shrewd piece of business from Chelsea, and the boy as all the physical and mental tools to become a Stamford Bridge great.Lukaku has strength and speed far beyond his years, and was used to playing up front on his own at Anderlecht against veteran defenders. To be thrown in at the deep end and forced to sink or swim will be a learning process that benefits the young striker throughout his career.
On top of his physical attributes, Lukaku already brings with him top division, international and Champions League experience even at the tender age of 18.
To have already faced the hostile crowds, experienced different countries and have succeeded as a lone forward at such a high level makes Lukaku a low risk purchase for the Blues.
