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.
However, the uncertainty that looms over Romelu Lukaku's future has reportedly stalled the Blues' efforts. The 28-year-old has struggled to acclimatise to the Premier League upon his return to Stamford Bridge in the summer from Inter Milan.
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. Though, despite his trials and tribulations, Lukaku has recently worked his way back into Tuchel's plans which has thrown created a dilemma for Chelsea.
