Former Manchester City defender Danny van Buyten has backed Belgium teammate Romelu Lukaku's move to Chelsea.

Anderlecht striker Lukaku passed his medical in London earlier this week ahead of completing a protracted transfer to Chelsea.

Lukaku has been likened to new Chelsea teammate Didier Drogba.
