Lukaku goes on loan to West Brom by chocolate.boy 2012/08/10 19:24
Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku has joined West Brom on a season-long loan.
The Belgium international joined the Blues for a reported 18 million pounds in 2011 but has struggled to establish himself in the first team, making just one Premier League start last season.
Lukaku will wear the No.20 shirt for the Baggies but will not feature in Friday's friendly against Nottingham Forest.
"I'm delighted to welcome Romelu to the club," WBA manager Steve Clarke told the club's official website.
"He's a strong, powerful centre-forward who is young, enthusiastic and eager to learn. He was also desperate to come here.
"Romelu had a lot of Europe's top clubs chasing him when he joined Chelsea from Anderlecht for big money a year ago and also had several Premier League teams wanting to take him on loan this summer, so we've done well to get him.
"We're more than happy for Romelu to continue his development with us. I am sure he will be a big help to the squad over the course of the season."
