Chelsea fans are eagerly anticipating the return of Romelu Lukaku to Stamford Bridge next season, despite his lacklustre performance at Inter Milan this season. The Belgian striker has only managed to score three goals across 14 Serie A games, but former Chelsea striker Clinton Morrison believes that Lukaku will thrive in a team that has the ability to create chances for him.
Morrison believes that Lukaku can be the focal point of Chelsea’s attack, provided he stays fit. Lukaku’s fitness has been a concern for Inter Milan, with CEO Giuseppe Marotta revealing that the striker was “carrying 103kg on his shoulders” and is still not 100% match fit. Despite this, Morrison is confident that Lukaku will score goals for Chelsea next season.
Another option for Chelsea would be to consider a move for Napoli superstar Victor Osimhen, who has also been linked with a move to Manchester United. Morrison believes that Osimhen is an “unbelievable” player who scores goals and would be a good addition to Chelsea’s squad.
Chelsea have spent over £600m on players since the summer, as Todd Boehly replaced Roman Abramovich as the club’s owner. Lukaku’s return to Stamford Bridge will be eagerly anticipated by Chelsea fans, who hope that he can replicate his form from his previous stint at the club.
Despite Lukaku’s struggles at Inter Milan this season, Chelsea fans remain optimistic about his return. With the likes of Timo Werner, Kai Havertz, and Mason Mount providing support, Lukaku has the potential to be a key player for Chelsea next season. Whether he can stay fit and rediscover his form remains to be seen, but Chelsea fans will be hoping that Lukaku can deliver the goals they need to challenge for silverware next season.
