Lukaku ‘has not been good enough’ as Tuchel ready to bring bargain to Chelsea

Chelsea have been told that Romelu Lukaku has not been good enough for the club as the Blues eye up a monster deal for Erling Haaland

Lukaku was the massive summer signing for the club last year and was supposed to make us real contenders for that Premier League, but injuries and the inability to adapt to the style if play has seen many suggest that he could depart the club at the end of the season.

Thomas Tuchel’s side failed to add to their recent silverware haul on Sunday as they were dramatically beaten by Liverpool on penalties, and The German opted to start Kai Havertz in attack with both Lukaku and Timo Werner left to settle for cameos off the bench at Wembley.

Prior to the match, Sky Sports pundit Neville predicted the £97.5million Belgian in particular wouldn’t make the starting XI, while branding his current form “not good enough”.

“I don’t think he’ll play,” Neville declared. “I think his form is not good enough

“For me, thinking a bit as a centre-back or a defender, I wouldn’t want to play against Lukaku because I think physically he’d cause me a lot more problems than the alternatives, who are obviously a lot more mobile.

“However, I just think at the moment Thomas Tuchel has almost announced to us verbally in the last few weeks that he’s just having a bad time, that Chelsea strikers seem to struggle and he is struggling with form, so I don’t think he will play.

“I think he’ll play the more mobile ones, the ones that can move in behind the Liverpool defenders.”

Tuchel now appears to have a decision to make heading into the summer, especially given Erling Haaland is believed to be available for a cut-price fee.
