New West Brom manager Steve Clarke has been busy adding to his squad this summer and Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku is the latest to join the Baggies on a season-long loan.

Even after the departure of Didier Drogba, Lukaku still can’t get a game at Stamford Bridge but joining the midlands club for some Premier League experience could massively enhance his future potential.

It was widely thought that at least half a dozen Premier League clubs were open to taking the Belgian international on loan and former Chelsea assistant manager, Clark, was delighted that he won the race to sign the forward.

“I’m delighted to welcome Romelu to the club,” Clark told Sky Sports News.

“He’s a strong, powerful centre-forward who is young, enthusiastic and eager to learn. He was also desperate to come here.

“With the calibre of strikers Chelsea have got, he’s found it difficult to break into the first team at Stamford Bridge.”

The 19-year-old striker joined Chelsea for around £13million this time last year and is expected to play a big part in the club’s future.
