Brussels (B2B) - Pemain internasional Belgia Romelu Lukaku berkeinginan kuat untuk kembali ke Chelsea setelah sempat menghabiskan waktunya menjadi pemain pinjaman di klub liga utama Inggris West Bromwich Albion.

Striker itu berada di urutan keenam daftar pencetak gol terbanyak liga utama Inggris dengan catatan 17 gol musim lalu.

"Saya sudah tahu kemana saya harus pergi, di mana saya akan kembali, tapi saya tidak mau katakan lebih dari itu," kata Lukaku setelah Belgia mengalahkan Serbia 2-1 pada pertandingan kualifikasi Piala Dunia, Jumat waktu setempat.

"Sesuatu yang akan saya katakan adalah saya ingin sukses di Chelsea," tambah pemain berusia 20 tahun itu.

Lukaku tahu bahwa dia harus bisa memberi kesan kepada pelatih Chelsea Jose Mourinho.

"Saya harus bisa membuktikan diri saya lagi, jika dia memberi semacam kepercayaan maka anda kembali dari nol setiap harinya, saya ingin ke sana untuk sukses," katanya.

Sementara itu rekan satu klubnya di Chelsea, Kevin De Bruyne dan gelandang tengah Marouane Fellaini cukup berperan juga ketika Belgia mengalahkan Serbia untuk memastikan keunggulan tiga poin di puncak klasemen Grup A, seperti dilansir Yahoo News.

Brussels - Belgian international Romelu Lukaku has given a strong hint he will return to Chelsea after spending a season on loan at Premier League rivals West Bromwich Albion.

The striker was the sixth highest scorer in the league last season with 17 goals.

"I already know where I’m going, or where I’ll be heading back to, but I won’t say any more than that," a grinning Lukaku told reporters after Belgium beat Serbia 2-1 in a World Cup qualifier on Friday.

"The only thing I will say is that I want to succeed at Chelsea and I’m not scared of competition," added the 20-year-old who is likely to be vying with Fernando Torres and Demba Ba for a place in the attack at Stamford Bridge.

Lukaku knows he has to impress Jose Mourinho who has returned for a second stint as Chelsea coach following spells at Inter Milan and Real Madrid.

"I have to prove myself again, even if he gives me some credit you still start from zero every single day," the striker said. "I’m going there with the intention to succeed."

Lukaku’s Chelsea club mate Kevin De Bruyne and Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini were on target as Belgium defeated Serbia to go three points clear at the top of Group A qualifying.
