Romelu Lukaku transfer decision stalls £26m Chelsea approach for dream Robert Lewandowksi deal

Todd Boehly has been handed a major blow ahead of the upcoming transfer window, with the new Chelsea owner keen to bolster Thomas Tuchel's armoury this summer. The LA Dodgers owner, who has agreed a £4.25billion deal to buy the west London club, is expected to 'push for A-list signings' to mark a new era at Stamford Bridge, according to the MailOnline.

He has found the net just 15 times in 43 appearances this season and his overriding misfortune in front of goal has seen him relegated to the bench.
