West Bromwich Albion boss Steve Clarke says a move to the Hawthorns was the right one for Romelu Lukaku.
The Chelsea striker could also have signed for West London neighbours Fulham.
"It would have been a logical choice," said Clarke. "He lived in Cobham and Fulham is not far away. But Lukaku is still too young for a lazy life.
"He must develop his career. "
