The Baggies’ official Twitter account recently posted a tweet lauding Lukaku’s “incredible season” with West Brom, back in the 2012/13 campaign. The club’s recent tweet shares a compilation of some of the goals the Belgian striker scored during his time at The Hawthorns.

Many West Brom supporters flocked to the goalscorer’s recent tweet to share praise for him and his time at The Hawthorns.

Lukaku was a West Brom player for just one season, joining the Baggies on loan from Chelsea from August 2012 until the end of May 2013. The attacker, who is currently valued at £76.5m according to Transfermarkt.co.uk, scored a total of 17 goals and provided seven assists for the Baggies in his 35 Premier League appearances for the club, ending that season as the sixth-highest goalscorer in England’s top-flight and helping West Brom to achieve an eighth-place finish that term.
