Over the last few months we've been hearing a lot about young Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku so it was only right Sports Portal included him as a future star.A week doesn't seem to pass by when his name isnt linked to another potential suitor this summer.
Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Real Madrid and Inter Milan are just a handful of the names thrown up so far.
After making his way into football at the age of 6, it wasn't until seven years later he joined Anderlecht and his career began to show real promise.
A ridiculous scoring record for the youth squad saw Lukaku promoted to the seniors in 2009, where he impressed in equal fashion.
Upon turning 16 a professional contract was signed, and soon after came a senior debut for the teenage sensation.
He now has a record of almost one in two for his club side, and has also finished top scorer in the Belgian Pro League (or Jupiler Pro League).
In addition to this he is now a member of the senior Belgian national squad after two years in the under-21s, where his scoring has continued.
Constantly likened to a young Didier Drogba, it is rumoured the Ivorian has phoned Lukaku to talk up Chelsea.
Where ever he does end up though, he must ensure he doesn't end up like many other footballing prodigies e.g. Freddy Adu.
The jewel in the Belgian footballing crown, he could carry the hope of a nation for well over a decade.
