West Bromwich Albion: Steve Clarke is comfortable Romelu Lukaku might return to Baggies if he's loaned out again Romelu Lukaku Bob Clarke believes West Bromwich Albion is likely to be in front of the line to bring straight back Romelu Lukaku for another loan cause - presented He is granted by Chelsea another year from Stamford Bridge. Lukaku, scorer of 13 Albion objectives this season, may go back to Chelsea by the end of this season. No one is sure whether Lukaku will be granted another loan move next period - not least as Chelsea have yet to hire Rafa Benitezas successor. Chelsea may seek a fresh director come early july, with Jose Mourinho clearly associated with a move to his former club. Atletico Madrid striker Radamel Falcao had been touted as a possible summer signing must Mourinho return to west London. The introduction of more strikers can lead the way in which for Lukakuas starting. The 19-year-old has talked several times of his liking for Albion and explained that he would like to return next season for another season. Clarke, Mourinhoas former right-hand man, is planning his summer recruitment on the foundation that Lukaku won't get back. But he remains quietly confident. aRomelu is here for a yearas mortgage - he is Chelseaas player,a said Clarke. aHe is developed (with Albion) until the end of June, will go back to Chelsea for pre-season and Iam 99 per cent sure he'll do pre-season with Chelsea and they'll determine whether they want to let him out for another period. Shock have to build the squad without knowing if heall be back. We have to plan for him not returning. aNobody knows where he will be next year although I keep getting asked this. aNext year the parent club will decide whether to help keep him or let him go out on mortgage. aAll I would say is when he extends back on mortgage I think weare in a great place to obtain him again. aHe enjoys it here, heas been good in regards to the membership, heas been nominated for young person of the year, which lets you know that heas had an excellent year, so I think he will be happy here.a Speaking about Lukakuas recent PFA young-player-of-the-year nomination, Clarke added: aHe doesnat owe anything to us. aWe have been area of the process that helped him get the nomination but he deserves the credit for the job heas done as well.a
