30 goals in 46 games during two loan spells at Everton and West Brom have shown that Romelu Lukaku has what it takes to become a huge star in world football. The Chelsea youngster has been a menace to Premier League defences the past two seasons due to his physical power paired with speed and accurate finishing. His size gives him a unique selling point and has drawn comparisons to a former Blues player Didier Drogba, but the arrival of Diego Costa to England's capital city will surely have an impact on where the former Anderlecht striker applies his trade post World Cup. The Belgian striker will almost certainly be a first choice pick in Brazil following an injury to strike partner Christian Benteke that rules him out of the tournament, giving Lukaku the chance to take the spotlight. Tottenham are rumoured to be among several clubs interested in the £20 million rated forward, with that fee likely to have risen by the time the World Cup is over.
