As Chelsea enter a new era, fans have a list of ideas for their new owner to consider. The Blues will expect the club to be run differently but to still maintain a vicious, winning mentality. In order for a better fight for the Premier League title next season, harsh decisions will need to be made. Players will leave, and new ones will be brought in, but none of it matters if the Blues do not close the massive gap that they have with Manchester City.
That may now have been made that bit more difficult after Man City's mission to sign Erling Haaland was accomplished. City confirmed the signing on Tuesday afternoon and as Pep Guardiola brings one striker in, Chelsea fans look to get rid of one of theirs. Romelu Lukaku has not had the dream start to his return to Stamford Bridge. In fact, it's been rather underwhelming. He has only managed to score 14 goals in 41 games this season. Not great from a £97million signing in any respect.
The irony is that Chelsea will need to do their best to keep the Belgian on their books if they are to close the gap next season. Liverpool and Man City have managed to go head to head for the Premier League title, and the competition has gone right down to the wire. Chelsea stepped off the gas along the way and are now 16 points behind second-placed Liverpool. With the addition of Haaland to Guardiola's side, Chelsea need a response and its's Lukaku.
