Chelsea Transfer News: Romelu Lukaku Set For West Brom Loan

According to Sky Sports News, young Chelsea forward Romelu Lukaku is set to re-sign for West Bromwich Albion on loan for the season after enjoying a successful temporary stay with the club last year. The Belgian striker has apparently turned down Everton to re-link up with West Brom, as he would prefer, according to Sky Sports News, to join back up with the side he is familiar with. The explosive striker would represent a considerable coup for West Brom, especially considering how well he did last year, and he could enjoy more first team time than if he were to head elsewhere, which is clearly more valuable to Chelsea. West Brom currently sit at the bottom of the league, having failed to score in three consecutive games, despite welcoming Nicolas Anelka back from compassionate leave against Swansea City at the weekend. If Lukaku does sign for West Brom, he could potentially be joined by both Victor Anichebe from Everton and Sunderland's out-of-favour forward Stephane Sessegnon, and the Baggies would line up with an all-new attack for their next Premier League game if they are able to push through their deadline day deals. The news was greeted with enthusiasm by Baggies' 'keeper Ben Foster, who tweeted the following: Ben Foster Do you think Lukaku has made the right decision is choosing West Brom?
