Breaking news: Lukaku decides Chelsea future after crunch talks with Tuchel
There has been a lot of fuss surrounding
Chelsea star Romelu Lukaku in the last few
days. The Belgian striker caused a storm
by publicly stating that he was not happy
at Chelsea, which put a big question mark
over his future at the club.
However, as per latest reports from Sky
Sports, Lukaku will stay at Chelsea
following crunch talks with Chelsea manager
Thomas Tuchel. The report also suggests
that Romelu Lukaku believes he shouldn't
have made those comments, accepting
it was a huge mistake. The report should
come as a welcome news for everyone
associated with Chelsea as the team can
now work hard to get the Blues back on track.
Lukaku was signed by Chelsea last summer
for a club-record fee of £97.5m from Inter
Milan. Chelsea board and Tuchel were heavily
impressed with the Belgian's performances
in Italy, where he scored 30 goals for Inter
Milan across all competitions last season.
He also led the Nerazzurri to their first
Scudetto since 2010.
However, things didn't go as planned.
Lukaku became an isolated figure up front
in Tuchel's set-up, making it difficult
for him to score freely. Lukaku also started
a few matches on the bench, which seemed
to have irked him even more.
Following Lukaku's interview with Sky
Sports, Tuchel decided to drop the Belgian
from the squad that faced Liverpool. The
German tactician stated before the match
that he had to leave the 28-year-old out
of the squad to protect his players from
the noise surrounding the interview.
Gary Nevile urges Chelsea star
Romelu Lukaku to apologise
Football pundits and fans slammed Romelu
Lukaku for his damaging statements during
the controversial interview with Sky Sports.
Manchester United legend Gary Neville believes
the Belgian was brave for being honest
but urged him to apologise to fans and
teammates.
"We have to applaud Romelu
Lukaku in some ways for being
brave enough, or whatever you
would call it, to come out and speak
the truth. I’ve called for players
to be more authentic, to be more
honest. If I was a Chelsea fan
today, or a Chelsea coach or owner
, I’d feel really disappointed by
my player saying that, particularly
when you’ve invested so much
in him. What I would expect
of Romelu Lukaku in the next
few days is a ‘sorry, I didn’t
mean it’," Garry Neville said.
