Chelsea have been warned against selling Romelu Lukaku this summer despite the striker continuously being linked with moves to Europe. Barcelona, Real Madrid and his former club Inter Milan are among the sides to be linked with the 28-year-old but after his two-goal display against Wolves, the Blues have been urged to give him more time.
Lukaku was signed for a club-record fee of £97 million in the summer transfer window but has fallen short of the standards expected of him and has scored just 14 goals in 41 appearances in all competitions. A misjudged interview in the winter also did not help and accelerated rumours of a departure.
But he once again showed flashes of what he is capable of by scoring twice against Wolves on Saturday afternoon. Chelsea threw the three points away to draw 2-2 while prospective new owner Todd Boehly watched on from the stands, but the individual performance of Lukaku at least gave Thomas Tuchel some reason for optimism ahead of Saturday's FA Cup final against Liverpool at Wembley.
