Former Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has claimed that Romelu Lukaku ‘doesn’t do enough’ after another lacklustre performance during the Blues' 4-2 defeat to Arsenal on Wednesday. Lukaku started the match but was replaced by Kai Havertz in the second half after a largely anonymous display.
Much was expected from Lukaku when he re-joined the club for £97.5 million from Inter Milan last summer, he scored an impressive 30 goals in 44 appearances last season to help the Nerazzurri win their first Serie A title in a decade. It was hoped he would have a similar impact at Chelsea but he is yet to justify his hefty fee and has been replaced by Havertz as the focal point of the team.
Lukaku, who barely troubled the Gunners' defence before he was withdrawn, also missed a very presentable chance during the weekend’s FA Cup semi-final win over Crystal Palace. And Hasselbaink believes the 28-year-old needs to work harder for the team if he’s to rediscover the form he showcased in Italy.
