West Bromwich will have the services of striker Romelu Lukaku for the rest of the Premier League season after Chelsea opted not to recall him to Stamford Bridge.

Lukaku moved to West Brom on a season-long loan in August, but Chelsea reserved the right to recall the player in January.

However, that date has come and gone, meaning that the 19-year-old will remain at The Hawthorns until the end of the season.

Chelsea has already sold striker Daniel Sturridge and signed Newcastle forward Demba Ba, meaning that Lukaku can continue his development with the Baggies, where he has totaled seven goals in 19 league appearances this term.
