Romelu Lukaku is a Belgian professional footballer who plays for the Premier League club, Chelsea. A prolific striker, Lukaku has represented a plethora of clubs in his football career. Starting with Anderlecht in his home country, Lukaku finished the top scorer in Belgium which earned him a move to Chelsea in 2011. However, he found it difficult to showcase his talent amongst a squad already filled with legends and superstars. Consequently, loan moves to West Brom and Everton followed. It was at Everton where Lukaku really managed to find his feet and catch the eyes of the world. After finishing the Premier League’s second-top goalscorer, Manchester United captured his signature in 2017. Although with United, Lukaku’s career progress halted, in 2019, Inter Milan signed him and helped revive his career. Under Antonio Conte, Lukaku unleashed his best form helping Inter win the Scudetto after almost a decade. Lukaku returned to Chelsea in 2021 but has since then endured a roller-coaster of a season in London.
