If Thomas Tuchel's goal-scoring problems weren't big enough heading into the new Premier League season, he could be about to lose one of the club's top contributors.

The Blues haven't replaced Romelu Lukaku who still finished top of the scoring charts in all competitions last season, but only managed 15.
