Romelu Lukaku will be seeking reassurance from Chelsea this summer as a new era dawns at Stamford Bridge. The Belgian striker endured a somewhat disappointing first season back with the Blues but still managed to finish the term as the club's top goalscorer in all competitions.
Plenty was expected from Lukaku when he signed in a mega £97.5million deal last August, and after a positive start, the expectations increased. However, after that interview in December, his form went downhill, and it's only in recent matches where he has looked somewhat himself, scoring three goals in two games against Wolves and Leeds United.
"You never give up on players, you never give in," Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel said on Lukaku last month. "I think Romelu is such a competitor that he feels the same, and he behaves in the same way."
