The Blues spent a club-record £97.5m to re-sign Romelu Lukaku over the summer, and the Belgium international has scored just four times in 11 appearances for the capital outfit since his return. The Belgian is on the sidelines due to an Ankle Injury that he sustained against Malmo FF in the UEFA Champions League Group Stages. The 28-year-old Twisted his Ankle after winning a penalty in the First Half.
Thomas Tuchel is reluctant on relying too much on Lukaku for Scoring Goals for Chelsea
According to Transfer Expert Ian Mcgarry, the German Manager is wary of relying too much on the Centre-Forward for Scoring Goals. Therefore, Tuchel has informed the Club’s hierarchy about his intentions of signing a new striker in the January Transfer Window.
“It is our information that he [Tuchel] has requested from the club that they recruit a striker in the January window. This has been significantly influenced now as well by the fact Romelu Lukaku will miss at least two games but maybe up to a month in the coming weeks, as well as Timo Werner being out as well.
