Kindermans: £18m Ace “Will Be A Main Man For Chelsea”

Anderlecht youth coach Jean Kindermans believes it won’t be long before Romelu Lukaku is the main man at Chelsea.

Chelsea completed the signing of the 18-year old last week for a fee thought to be around £18million. Kindermans admits Lukaku has a good physical presence that is reinforced with a confidence in his own ability.

Kindermans, director of youth football at Anderlecht, told the Daily Star:

“Once he receives his chance in the first team the supporters and the staff will see he is a real diamond. With a diamond you have to work hard and be careful with him and I’m sure that, in one or two seasons, he will be a main player for Chelsea.

“He was such a strong boy and a good player with a good mentality that he was always playing in age groups two or three higher than his at Anderlecht.

“We were always a little afraid of how he would do but every time he proved we didn’t need to be as he reached his targets faster than we thought.”
