Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has questioned the Blues’ decision to bring in a player like Lukaku last summer. The former Arsenal man stated that the Belgian never fit the Blues’ style of play. He said:
Chelsea star Romelu Lukaku may leave the club if he is unable to adjust to their style of play
Lukaku scored 47 goals in the Serie A across two seasons for Inter Milan and also won the league title with the Italian giants last season. However, he has failed to recreate those performances at Chelsea.
The Blues signed the Inter star for a club-record fee of £97 million in the summer transfer window. The price tag came with big expectations but Lukaku has failed to deliver. The Belgian has only scored 10 goals in 28 appearances for the Blues this season.
Romelu Lukaku has been unable to perform at Chelsea for a while now but his poor form was highlighted against Crystal Palace. The Blues won 1-0 against Crystal Palace but Lukaku had just seven touches of the ball in the entirety of the match.
Statistics like this are extremely worrying for both the club and the player. Lukaku simply failed to fit into the system at his new club. If this continues, the Belgian will have to look for a move.
