Yep.Counts as homegrown and is PL proven
Chelsea's home grown players last season:
- Begovic (now at Bournemouth)
- Cahill
- Chalobah (linked to Watford)
- Fabregas
- Moses
- Terry (now at Villa)
Lukaku would have plugged their expanding gap up nicely.
Our home grown players last season:
- Carrick (near the end of his career)
- Johnstone (going to Villa)
- Jones
- Lingard
- Pogba
- Rooney (going to Everton)
- Schneiderlin (now at Everton)
- Smalling (linked with move away)
- Young
So can see why both clubs really wanted him. Just 24 years old and likely to be at whatever club he goes to for quite a few years.
