It could have been a signing that helped Chelsea really kick on from their 2020/21 UEFA Champions League triumph. The Blues wanted the Premier League title, and Romelu Lukaku was signed for £97.5million from Inter Milan to try and help.
There was a feeling that Lukaku had matured from the last time he played in England. After not making it at Manchester United, the Belgian spent two years in Italy with Inter Milan and spearheaded the Nerazzurri to their first Serie A title in over a decade.
Lukaku returned to the Premier League with a point to prove. The self-confidence had always been there, but this time around, it almost felt different. It felt as if Chelsea could have been buying the missing ingredient to see them edge closer to Manchester City and Liverpool.
