Chelsea signing Lukaku reveals Mourinho, Drogba influence

Former Anderlecht striker Romelu Lukaku admits Jose Mourinho had an influence on his move to Chelsea.

Lukaku admits he only had his heart set on Chelsea - because of new manager Andre Villa-Boas' illustrious compatriot.

"I have always liked Chelsea but then there was the style of the Mourinho era," he said. "It was fast soccer, one or two touches and with depth.

"And there was Didier Drogba - he's my idol."
