The Sun reports that the 17-year-old is closing in on a move to Stamford Bridge after Barcelona pulled out of the chase for the whizkid.
Chelsea are keen to bring in a new striker as both Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka are on the wrong side of 30.
Lukaku has been labelled the ‘new Didier Drogba’ by the press.
The Antwerp-born starlet said: “I’m flattered to be compared to a great striker like Didier but I insist on being my own player.
“My style is best suited to the English Premier League, so a move to England is more likely than a switch to Spain or anywhere else in Europe.”
