Belgian wonderkid Romelu Lukaku is set to snub the advances of Premier League giants Chelsea to continue his development with Anderlecht.
Lukaku has been chased by a whole host of Europe?s top clubs and Chelsea were reported to be interested in a £20m deal for the striker.
However, the player himself says he is focused on returning to Anderlecht once pre-season begins.

?I read a lot in the paper about me these days,? said the 18-year-old.
?Some journalists try to sell information they don?t always know about. Please know that my current and only focus is passing my exams.
?After that I?ll have some holiday and will start the pre-season with Anderlecht.?

Anderlecht are still waiting for Chelsea to put the cash on the table for their young striker Romelu Lukaku after long drawn out negotiations, and some say that the reason talks have stopped is because Andre Villas-Boas would rather take Radamel Falcao to Stamford Bridge instead of Lukaku.
Anderlechts Director of football Herman van Holsbeeck thinks the deal will still go through, but thinks Chelsea are looking for a cheaper price. ?People say the new Chelsea manager doesn?t want Lukaku ? but they have different information to me.? he said. ?But we will only sell him if it is good for both ourselves and the player.
?We want serious money for him.?

Anderlecht's general manager, Herman van Holsbeeck, and Lukaku's agent, Christophe Henrotay, held formal talks with Chelsea in London last week and negotiations are continuing to take the player to the capital.
An Anderlecht spokesman told Goal.com: "There is a London club interested in the services of Romelu Lukaku and they are talking with us at the moment."
Talks have centred on the composition of the deal, which will include a payment to the Lukaku family and a percentage for his agent. The two clubs have yet to find some middle ground, with Anderlecht holding out for a total package of ?25 million.
