Romelu Lukaku has returned to Chelsea, a club that has rejected him before, and according to some sources preferred Erling Haaland to the Belgian.

So why, and how did Lukaku move to Chelsea? And why Lukaku isn’t Chelsea’s second choice.

Written by Simon Johnson and James Horncastle, illustrated by Henry Cooke.

    Chelsea and Belgium better watch out

  2. After Lukaku's last interview, we now know that Inter refused three offers from Chelsea and accepted the fourth just because Lukaku pushed for the transfer. So, as also Pastorello said, unlike the Hakimi transfer, this didn't happen for financial issues
    He could talk about love for Chelsea, but we all know that the real reason is that they offered double the salary he was taken at Inter.

  3. β€œI was only going to leave Inter Milan for Chelsea,” β€œKids love Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United. And Chelsea for me, everyone knows what Chelsea means to me. – Romelu Lukaku is πŸ”΅ through and through.

  4. i dislike and dont fear lukaku because of his poor technique. An elite club needs elite strikers and he certainly is not suarez, aguero, lewa, henry, villa, rvp, rvn, raul, etoo, sheva, etc

  5. Thanks Inter. But China…. it is what it is.
    Harry Kane isnt something that suits chelsea's philosophy. Well, Tuchel could fit him in, but it would change the whole team. Lukaku would let most of the team do their thing and still be solid.
    If he was sold first before Hakimi, i wonder if Hakimi is going to get all the flak?

  6. I remember him playing at West Brom in 2013, always thought he was an excellent player. I could never understand why Chelsea kept putting him out on loan

  7. Oh dear πŸ˜…
    He's was being compared to Haaland

    Oh God πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
    This video has not just aged badly. Its aged with chronic illnesses
