West Bromwich Albion captain Chris Brunt heaps praise on Romelu Lukaku after it was revealed that the striker would remain at The Hawthorns for the rest of the season.

West Bromwich Albion captain Chris Brunt believes that striker Romelu Lukaku has been a "real handful" for opposition defenders this season.

Lukaku is currently on loan at The Hawthorns from Chelsea until the end of the season and Brunt has insisted that the 19-year-old will only get better with the more games that he plays with the Baggies.

Brunt told reporters: "Romelu has been confirmed as staying here for the season which is great news. He's come into his own during the last month.

"He's been consistently hitting the net in the last few weeks, even when we've not played that well, and the more he plays, the better and better he'll get.

"People forget Rom is only a young lad, he's still learning the game but he's a real handful."

Lukaku has scored seven goals in the Premier League this season.
