Romelu Lukaku reflects on Chelsea failure and admits "anger inside of me"

Romelu Lukaku has admitted that there's 'anger inside of him' after his second spell with Chelsea resulted in abject failure.

The Belgian striker returned to Stamford Bridge last summer for a club-record £97.5million fee but only managed to score 15 goals and made more headlines off the pitch than on it. Most notably, Lukaku's thinly-veiled suggestions about immediately wanting to return to Inter Milan during a bombshell interview midway through the season helped derail Chelsea's campaign, having also questioned manager Thomas Tuchel 's tactics.

Now back at Inter on loan, the 29-year-old - who came through the Blues' academy and hoped for a fairytale return - has opened up on his nightmare with west London, laying bare his frustrations in another candid interview in which he vows to come back to Italy better than ever. "The season at Chelsea has given me more motivation to do even better than before," Lukaku affirmed DAZN Italia, via Calciomercato.
