Thomas Tuchel has promised Romelu Lukaku that he still has a "big part" to play in his plans at Chelsea despite transfer rumours linking the striker with a move away from the club. Over the past few days, Lukaku has been linked with a return to Inter Milan, who are reportedly keen on re-signing the Belgian on loan in the summer.
According to Italian news outlet Calciomercato, the 28-year-old striker is 'not happy' with his situation at Chelsea and is becoming increasingly frustrated. Lukaku has not started in the Premier League since the 1-0 win against Crystal Palace in February, with the form of Kai Havertz making the German virtually undroppable.
With that, and the fact that Lukaku stated his unhappiness in an explosive interview with Sky Italia in December, the inevitable transfer rumours have re-appeared. However, Tuchel, when pressed on Lukaku's future, was quick to play down such suggestions.
