Todd Boehly stance could open door for Romelu Lukaku's Chelsea departure after transfer claim

Much was expected from Romelu Lukaku after he was brought back to Chelsea during the summer transfer window for £97 million but it has not worked out as planned. Now rumours are circulating that the marksman could be on his way out of the club just one year later.

In 23 Premier League appearances, Lukaku has found the back of the net just five times, fewer than right wing-back Reece James. With reports that the 28-year-old is unhappy in west London, rumours have intensified that a summer exit could well be on the cards.

However, if Chelsea do want to cut their losses on their biggest ever player investment, it will have to wait until Roman Abramovich's successor is found. The Russian is in the process of selling the club but despite two months now passing since they were put on the market, a new owner has not been found.
