Chelsea Transfer News: Romelu Lukaku Right to Explore Loan Deal

Romelu Lukaku hasn't been exactly what Chelsea fans have hoped and now it's being reported by Shane Farrington of Goal.com that the 18-year-old could go on loan in the summer to try his fortunes elsewhere.

While he's been a disappointment with the Blues, Lukaku deserves the right to make such a move as it is the right one for his career until he gets his game right.

Here are some reasons why Lukaku is wise to go this route.

More Playing Time

Lukaku hasn't started a single English Premier League match and all six of his chances have been from off the bench. That wasn't what the Blues imagined when they brought Lukaku to the club.

According to Farrington's article, even Lukaku himself expressed his desire for more playing time in a new situation.

"

"I need to play more games," he told De Standaard. "It has not been as I imagined at Chelsea. Both Andre Villas-Boas and Roberto Di Matteo have stuck with experienced players.

"

It'll be tough for Lukaku to develop into a better play moving forward if he can't get onto the field, making it vital he go elsewhere.

Avoid Problems Within

Right now, it sounds like Lukaku is a bit disgruntled . He's unhappy with the lack of playing time he's receiving and that could cause problems for this club in the future.

"

"I haven't always agreed with their decisions, but as a player you have to accept the decisions of the coach. I don't have any regrets about joining Chelsea. I've learned a lot."

"

Instead of allowing tensions to continue to boil, a little time away wouldn't hurt to ease some of that tension. The Blues certainly don't want it to eventually spill out onto the rest of the club and cause problems with the players.

The last thing a competing club needs is turmoil that can create unnecessary distractions, and this has the recipe for that type of outcome.

Chelsea Could Get Back a Better Player

Lukaku didn't come cheap for the Blues, so of course they want the best out of their big investment. If Lukaku leaves and does get more playing time, he could greatly develop his game and become the great player Chelsea was expecting him to be.

At this point, Lukaku's play isn't cutting it and neither is his playing time. He can't truly help this team unless he gets off the bench.

In the end, Chelsea could be worlds better if Lukaku lives up to his expectations.
