Romelu Lukaku has been told he has ‘six weeks to save his Chelsea career after another unconvincing display in the FA Cup semi-final.
The second-most expensive signing – behind only Jack Grealish - in the history of English football after completing a £98million move from Inter last year has become a bit-part player at the Blues. The Belgian international has not started a Premier League game in almost two months and was also almost exclusively used as a substitute in the Champions League.
Lukaku had started all four FA Cup matches for the Blues – all against lower league opposition – in which he had netted three goals but he was tellingly dropped out of the semi-final triumph over Crystal Palace. He has not scored a Premier League goal this calendar year and his struggles have spiralled in recent months.
