Former Chelsea favourite Joe Cole has admitted his surprise at Romelu Lukaku’s decision to rejoin Inter Milan, but has backed his old club after their summer business.
Lukaku arrived as the Blues’ record signing spent just one year back at Stamford Bridge before opting to return to the San Siro on a season-loan loan. The Belgian had opened up about his fondness for the Nerazzurri last season, and received a warm welcome upon being reunited with fans of the Italian giants.
The move has been part of a frustrating summer for the London club, who have missed out on some big targets and also lost star defender Antonio Rudiger. However, after seeing Todd Boehly arrive as the new chairman, ex-England international Cole is feeling positive.
