Lukaku has also been tagged as the new Didier Drogba by many and the &lsquo;Special One&rsquo; wants to test the powerful 20-year-old striker, which means Lukaku would get first-team chances this season.<br />

Lukaku managed to strike 17 goals last season, which he spent on loan at West Brom. His performance attracted the attention of Hammers manager Sam Allardyce, who offered him a loan deal. But according to media reports, Lukaku has rejected the loan offers.<br />

Allardyce also targeted Lukaku&rsquo;s Chelsea teammate Demba Ba but his offer met an instant rejection by the Stamford Bridge.
