Anderlecht's academy director Jean Kindermans revealed how Romelu Lukaku convinced 15-year-old Jeremy to not join Chelsea.
I remember taking Romelu into my office about the problem of getting young players to commit to us – Doku in particular. 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's family, saying ‘Hey, guys, stay with Anderlecht for a while, you’re good’ and so on."Lukaku himself left Anderlecht to join Chelsea at the age of 18 in 2011 but due to lack of game time, he was loaned out to Everton where he launched his career.
