Tuchel Finally Breaks Silence On Signing Romelu Lukaku, Compares Him To Haaland

Chelsea finally captured a true striker this summer in Inter Milan’s Romelu Lukaku, after prioritizing the signing of Erling Haaland all summer. However, the Bundesliga club couldn’t let it happen.

“Romelu is one of the guys like Haaland at Dortmund, Lewandowski at Bayern, Harry Kane at Tottenham, who is a real No 9 who loves to score and who has a presence in the box,” Thomas Tuchel said in his interview with Sky Sports.

“That is not a secret,” Tuchel added. “Lukaku is a fantastic player, his kind of profile is what we’re looking for and if it is possible to convince agents and clubs we will do our best.”
