Happening Now! As Agent finally confirms world-class player is on his way to Stamford Bridge after latest decision
Chelsea fans have been waiting to see the striker the club will sign this summer, and Thomas Tuchel’s recent press conference gave us an indirect hint that he was going for the Inter Milan man.
Tuchel said after the Spurs game that he wanted a striker who can play with his back away from goal, and who has the strength and prowess of the departed Olivier Giroud.
Your guess is as good as mine if you had mentioned Romelu Lukaku, and Lukaku’s agent has now moved to confirm that the striker is on his way to Chelsea.
It’s an old romance that is being rekindled. Lukaku was signed a decade ago to be the new Didier Drogba, and ever since his exit from the club, he has been linked with a move back to Stamford Bridge.
Lukaku’s agent, Federico Pastorello has taken to social media to apologise to Inter fans ahead of the move, and revealed that an explanation will come in due time.
“I apologise on behalf of Inter fans for the bad words in these comments… everything is fine, but exaggerating in this way seems too much to me,” Pastorello’s message reads.
“But if you can do what you can to keep Lukaku you would make many happy… Otherwise thanks anyway and good luck.”
