‘He earns £16,900,000 a year, cut your losses’ – Todd Boehly receive strong warning on Chelsea player
Chelsea paid £97.5 million to Inter Milan for Romelu Lukaku, but the club’s record signing has yet to justify his high price tag.
Last season, the 29-year-old scored just 15 goals in all competitions, but it wasn’t enough for a player of his status.
However, Chelsea should cut their losses on Lukaku and aim to sign Robert Lewandowski in his place, according to former Chelsea defender Scott Minto.
Minto told talkSPORT: “I personally would like to see Tuchel somehow have the conversation with Lukaku and say ‘what do we need to do to get the best out of you’.
“It’s not going to happen. We know that. Tuchel has said it’s not about us adjusting to him, he has to adjust to us. It has clearly not happened.
“Lewandowski would be absolutely superb in the short term. Even if he’s on a two-year contract, he might get away with a three.
“He’s proven right now. Chelsea are all about the here and now, they have been for the last two decades.”
