Jose Mourinho defends Romelu Lukaku loan

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho claims that he made the right decision in allowing Romelu Lukaku to join Everton on a season-long loan deal.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has insisted that allowing Romelu Lukaku to join Everton on loan was the right decision.

The 20-year-old Belgian striker has linked up with the Toffees for the remainder of the season, leaving the Blues with just three recognised frontmen.

Samuel Eto'o, Fernando Torres and Demba Ba are yet to score in the Premier League this season, but Mourinho has said that Lukaku's move was in the best interests of all parties involved.

"I think it's good for Lukaku and for Chelsea if he plays every game at Everton," the Portuguese told talkSPORT.

Lukaku scored 17 goals during a loan spell with West Bromwich Albion last season.
