West Bromwich Albion manager Steve Clarke has revealed that he was impressed with Romelu Lukaku's desire for success after the striker joined the club on loan from Chelsea.

The 19-year-old has completed a season-long loan move to the Hawthorns from Stamford Bridge, and Clarke has admitted that Lukaku's hunger to improve as a player at West Bromwich Albion helped him seal the move.

Clarke told the Birmingham Mail: "He's a big strong player. His goal record before he went to Chelsea was very good.

"What I like when he got here was that he has already asked for extra shooting practice and he hasn't even started training yet.

"It shows he has got hunger and I was impressed when I spoke to him."

Lukaku joined Chelsea from Anderlecht for £18m last summer.
