Lukaku in line for Chelsea debut this weekend after sealing 'dream' switch


New Chelsea signing Romelu Lukaku
Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku is in line to make his debut for the club against West Brom on Saturday after finalising his switch to Stamford Bridge.
Lukaku, 18, put the finishing touches to his £20m move from Anderlecht on Thursday and is now available for selection for their first home game of the season this weekend.
The Belgian international has been compared to his new Blues team-mate Didier Drogba and he told the club's official website: "It's a dream come true. I dreamed to play here since I was 10 years old, thinking about shaking hands with all those players like John Terryand Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba.
"It's amazing to arrive here in a big club with big ambition. It was just what I was searching for.
"It was a good experience to play in Belgium but I wanted to take a big step to join a big club and I said from day one that I wanted to go to Chelsea.
"To be here now is so good, there are guys with a lot of experience at international level and they won everything, but I didn't, I don't have the same feeling as them. I just want to win something so I am very hungry to start with these guys."
