Lukaku: Chelsea future down to the club

 

Romelu Lukaku says his future at Chelsea will be decided by the club over the summer, but he’s believes the Blues are happy with his progress at Everton.

The Belgian’s future at Stamford Bridge has been called into question in recent months, with Everton and Tottenham among the clubs keen on signing him on a permanent basis.

But despite reports of a falling out with Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, Lukaku says his future at the club is by no means over.

‘We’ll see at the end of the season. I’m focusing on my performances at Everton,’ he said.

‘I still have a contract until 2016 at Chelsea and I think they’re happy about the way I’m developing.

‘They have the last word, so we shall see what’s happening next.’

Lukaku has scored 14 goals for the Toffees this term, following on from last season’s successful loan spell with West Brom where he netted 17 times and was nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year award.
