Big season for Lukaku.

Romelu Lukaku has made it clear this week that he would like to stay at Chelsea to prove his worth under Jose Mourinho. Lukaku, who had a terrific season last year for West Brom, had found it hard to break into the Chelsea side the season before last and I believe he'll have more luck next season (bar a huge Cavani bid).

Drogba Similarities 

The style of centre forward that Lukaku is will be to the liking of Mourinho as it resembles the former Chelsea hitman Didier Drogba. Big, powerful, agile and devastating finishing could be a list of things that Chelsea lacked last season in their strikers Fernando Torres and Demba Ba. Lukaku was surely bought as the future star striker for Chelsea, whereas I believe the acquisition of Ba was certainly a quick fix signing to provide support for a certain misfiring £50m player. Lukaku will provide an out and out target man for the wingers such as Mata and Hazard.

He's got the lot

I believe Lukaku has got enough pace to play on the shoulder of the last defender as well as the ability to hold the ball up and play to the oncoming support. He provides an aerial presence in the box that Chelsea lacked last season but the big question lies to whether Mourinho will opt to spend big money on a new striker in his quest to bring the Premier League title back to Stamford Bridge. 

My Verdict

I believe Lukaku will again play second fiddle this season he chooses to stay in London (to who, we don't know quite yet) but will force his way into the team if he shows form of last season.
