Thomas Tuchel and Graeme Souness agree on Romelu Lukaku transfer verdict ahead of summer window

Graeme Souness is on the same page as Thomas Tuchel regarding the future of Romelu Lukaku at Chelsea. The 28-year-old scored the third of the evening at Elland Road, handing the Blues an injection of confidence ahead of their FA Cup final clash with Liverpool.

However, while the Belgium international's spritely form bodes well ahead of the weekend, the striker's long-term fortunes in west London have been in doubt. Lukaku has struggled to acclimatise to life back in the Premier League since joining from Inter Milan in the summer for a club-record fee.
