“I still have the video on my phone” –Romelu Lukaku prevent this prominent player from signing with Chelsea, which resulted in joining a rival club

Lukaku prevented Chelsea from signing Jeremy Doku, behind the scenes.

Anderlecht academy director Jean Kindermans, has revealed that Manchester City winger Doku could have moved to Chelsea while still an Anderlecht player, but Lukaku helped block the move from happening.

“I remember taking Romelu into my office about the problem of getting young players to commit to us – Doku in particular,” Kindermans told the Sunday Mirror.

“Romelu replied, ‘Come on, pass your phone to me, I’m going to call him’.

“I still have the video on my phone. On it, you can hear Romelu giving advice to the Doku family, saying ‘Hey, guys, stay with Anderlecht for a while, you’re good’ and so on.”
