“He’s the guy, no doubt” – Alejandro Moreno labels Chelsea player as biggest flop of the season
According to ESPN FC pundit Alejandro Moreno feels Chelsea’s Romelu Lukaku has been the biggest flop of the Premier League season so far. The Blues signed Lukaku for a club-record fee in the summer of 2021, but the Belgian has flattered to deceive so far.
However, The Belgian international has managed just five goals so far in the Premier League as the Blues’ title challenge came to a halt in January. They are currently ten points behind league leaders Manchester City, who have a game in hand.
Moreno believes Lukaku came to the Premier League as an established striker but has failed to shine.
Meanwhile, when asked who he thought was the biggest flop of the season, Moreno said:
Moreno told ESPN: “Well I’m going say in terms of expectations and what this player was supposed to be for this club and what he had done with his career prior to coming to this club, I’m going say Lukaku. Look he had done more in his career than Sancho ever did coming into this new role with Chelsea.”
“He was supposed to be the guy, think of Chelsea before they signed Lukaku, so Lukaku was only going to be the guy that was like, man now we have the goal scorer, no longer dependent on Kai Havertz or Timo Werner, now we got it all figured out, we’re winning everything, hmm…maybe not,” he added.
