West Brom have completed the signing of Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku on a season-long loan, the Barclays Premier League club have announced.

The Baggies won the race for the 19-year-old Belgium star, who had been linked with a number of clubs, including Fulham.

Lukaku, who joined Chelsea for £18million last summer, will work under former Blues assistant manager Steve Clarke.

He told Chelsea TV: "It's very important because, like Chelsea, West Brom play in the Premier League, but it will also be a good learning school for me where I need to work hard with the players around me.

"I've heard a lot of positives about Steve Clarke here and it will be important for me to listen and learn from him. He plays good football."

Clarke, who was appointed to his first managerial post this summer, told his club's official website, www.wba.co.uk: "I'm delighted to welcome Romelu to the club.
