‘Defenders will hate to play against him’ -Liverpool legend admits Tuchel just signed a beast
According to latest reports, Chelsea are set to break the club transfer record with a move for Romelu Lukaku, as the Belgian will move to Stamford Bridge for a fee of £97.5m.
The Lukaku deal will make him the club record signing and the second-most expensive signing for a British club, as his fee is just short of the £100m fee Manchester City paid for Jack Grealish.
Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has admitted that he’s a fan of Lukaku and has backed the big Belgian to do well at Chelsea.
According to Souness, Lukaku has revamped his game, and Premier League defenders won’t like to play against him.
Liverpool legend Souness wrote in The Times: “Romelu Lukaku may still have unfinished business at Chelsea, who sold him to Everton seven years ago. I am an enormous fan of him.
“I used to say he was the centre forward that Premier League centre halves would least like to play against because of his speed and strength.
“He appears to have a different focus to his game from going to Italy. Whether that is down to losing weight and a different training regime, I do not know, but he appears a more energised player. He’s a beast.
“He has won the league in Italy at Inter Milan and everybody is raving about him there, so does he want to come back to England and show people the real Lukaku?”
