Chelsea have been presented with two potential opportunities to solve their Romelu Lukaku problem as the Belgian striker looks destined for a quick exit from Stamford Bridge. After winning the Champions League in 2021, Chelsea signed Lukaku that summer after he played a key role in Inter Milan's Scudetto triumph under former Blues head coach and now Tottenham boss Antonio Conte.
Despite reigning as kings of Europe, Chelsea were missing a natural striker and the arrival of Lukaku in a near-£100million transfer seemed to solve that problem after he netted 30 goals from 44 appearances in the 2020/21 campaign.
An impressive start back in Chelsea blue very quickly became a nightmare, however, after Lukaku found himself on the bench for a number of games. The 29-year-old caused anger among the Chelsea fans after an interview with Sky Italia was released in November 2021.
