Everton striker Romelu Lukaku has revealed the reason behind his decision to leave Chelsea this Summer.
The Belgium international spent two season out on loan from Stamford Bridge, one year at West Brom and the other at Everton, before turning that loan move into a permanent one in a deal worth £27million.
The 21-year-old arrived at Chelsea back in 2011, but only made one start in the Premier League during that time, and he has revealed why he finally decided to end his career at The Bridge, and it was down to him wanting to build his career.
The striker said: “Chelsea was difficult because I’d always been a first-team player at my other clubs.
“At 16 I went into the Anderlecht side, the best team in Belgium.
“I had my chance and I took it. I was top scorer there and we won the league and I then scored even more.
“When I went to Chelsea I knew it would be hard but I proved in some games I deserved a chance.”
“At some point you have to make the decision: ‘Do you want to be a squad member or do you want to build your career?’
