Inter Milan talisman Romelu Lukau remains key to Chelsea’s plans for this summer’s transfer window with Thomas Tuchel’s camp having already made two attempts to sign the star striker.
Reports from The Athletic claim that Tuchel has his sights on the Belgium international forward player as his priority target to bolster his frontline options before the transfer window slams shut.
Failure to land long-term target Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund this summer has made the 28-year-old Lukaku the top name on Tuchel’s shopping list with the Chelsea boss backed sizably on the financial front from the club’s owners.
Last summer’s marquee arrival Timo Werner failed to impress the Chelsea boss and fans alike with his showings during his debut campaign at Stamford Bridge and Tuchel has been on the hunt for attacking reinforcements ahead of the start of the new campaign.
Haaland is unlikely to don the Chelsea shirt next season with Dortmund firm on their pricing demands which means Chelsea have decided to go all-in with their approach for a former Stamford Bridge player in Romelu Lukaku.
