Chelsea forward Lukaku unconcerned about potential Rooney transfer

23 August 2013 - 08:56

Chelsea's forward Romelu Lukaku will continue to fight for his place in the Blues' first team and told reporters that he isn't scared a potential transfer for Man Utd forward Wayne Rooney will push him further down the pecking order.

  • Predicted Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Spurs, Gilchrist starts
  • Chelsea midfielder looking forward to London derby vs Spurs

  • The Belgium international has so far yet to start in a league game for Chelsea, and Wayne Rooney is believed to be heading to Stamford Bridge next week should the Blues agree a fee with Man United.



    "Every player wants to be in the best team there is," said Lukaku.



    "If a player can improve us, why not? Samuel Eto'o, Wayne Rooney, I have heard everyone. I am not scared. Let them come.



    "I'm getting closer to where I need to be and hopefully also closer to the starting line-up, my main ambition.



    "If I keep working hard, like I'm doing now, showing the talent that I have hopefully I get to start in the next game."
