Zenit St. Petersburg target Romelu Lukaku

Zenit target Lukaku loan deal

Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku is reportedly being eyed for a loan move to Zenit St. Petersburg.

The 18-year-old moved to Stamford Bridge in the summer but has lacked first-team action this season, something Zenit will be able to offer the Belgian international.

Lukaku was warned earlier this year that he isn't guaranteed a place in the Belgium Euro 2012 squad and needed to be being playing regular football.

A deal is unlikely to materialise until the summer when Chelsea have employed a permanent manager.

Lukaku has made just six appearances in the Premier League.
