Romelu Lukaku planning Chelsea exit

Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku is hoping that a successful performance in the World Cup will help him push through a transfer to another team. The Belgium international played on loan at Everton last season.

Romelu Lukaku has been linked with a host of teams and the arrival of Diego Costa at Stamford Bridge adds further doubts to the long term future of the Belgian frontman.

There appear to be a number of potential suitors for Lukaku, including Manchester United and Atletico Madrid.

Lukaku told reporters: "Many clubs are interested in me. At this stage, I have to look to myself. I have to play a good World Cup. That's very interesting for all the players looking for a transfer. And I must be one of them. Chelsea know my point of view."
