Chelsea's Belgium international striker enjoyed an outstanding season-long loan at West Brom, where he netted 17 goals to finish sixth in the Premier League top scorers' chart.

The Blues are expected to send the 20-year-old out on loan again for the 2013/14 campaign, with Europa League debutants Swansea understood to be leading the chase.

However, Hammers supremo Sullivan believes he can convince Lukaku to remain in the capital and play at Upton Park alongside Carroll, who could be about to secure a permanent £15million switch from Liverpool.

Sullivan told the Daily Mirror: "Lukaku would be a loan again. We'd maybe buy him a year later if Chelsea decide they don't want him.

"If we sign Andy, it would be a record signing for the club. He and Romelu would be devastating. The best strike-force outside of the top six or seven.

"Lukaku has been amazing for West Brom this season and I'd hope that he would prefer to live in London."

Having surprised many pundits by finishing in the top half of the table in their first season back in the top-flight, Sullivan is now hoping the team can push on under Sam Allardyce.

"I am absolutely delighted with this season," added Sullivan. "To be clear of relegation with three or four games to go has been a lovely feeling.

"But we have another challenge ahead. Newcastle were fifth last year and yet hovered above the relegation zone this time. There can never be any room for complacency."

The Hammers also confirmed they are in talks to extend the contract of midfielder Gary O'Neil.

"For Gary, negotiations are ongoing and that will be done between the chairmen and his agent now," Allardyce added.

update btd :cool:

Lukaku looks good but tbh I don't rate Andy Carroll at all, he looks good at jumping and clattering people but he's lacks any other qualities and is certainly not worth £15m imo.

You're joking of course :'D At £15m he's a bargain :loveme:
Bet Andy would like him back o:D

He can't go back, the thick Geordie doesn't parlez francais 8-P

hahaha :clap: o:D

I'm not joking, he'll jump high and get flick ons from hoofed balls, that's how the mags got the best out of him, time will tell.

:cool:

tiredeyes is ignorant of attacking options,he is a zero zero philospher,Caroll when fit is a danger to any defence and gives his team plenty of options,Tiredeyes should stick to jogging thru muddy puddles as he is a chien bete,
