Chelsea forward Lukaku unconcerned about potential Rooney transfer
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.
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."
