A GOOD LUK
Thomas Tuchel insists Romelu Lukaku is the perfect fit for his new-look attack at Chelsea.
The ex-Inter Milan goal machine has sealed a £97.5million five-year move to the Blues which will see him return to Stamford Bridge after leaving the club in 2014.
And Blues gaffer Tuchel ranks the Belgium star, 28, as one of Europe’s best forwards.
The former PSG boss said: “Romelu is one of the guys like Erling Haaland at Dortmund, Robert Lewandowski at Bayern Munich, Harry Kane at Tottenham, who is a real No 9, who loves to score and who has a presence in the box.
“That is not a secret. The sentence is easy to repeat for any coach in the world. We lost Olivier Giroud, who played a crucial role in the club.
“He was the kind of profile who likes to play with his back to goal, who likes to hold up balls, who creates space for Timo Werner, Kai Havertz, Christian Pulisic, who is ready to fight physically with defenders.”
