Portuguese was questioned by board before sacking

Chelsea officials heavily questioned Jose Mourinho’s decision to sell Romelu Lukaku before they fired him on Thursday, it has been revealed.

The Belgian striker has been in red-hot form for Everton, and even showed impressive form during his loan-spells away at West Bromwich Albion and Everton the following year.

Despite impressing on loan, Mourinho was adamant he wasn’t ready to be a Chelsea regular, and that lead to him selling the powerhouse permanently for ÂŁ28million.

Since then Lukaku has gone from strength to strength at Goodison Park and he’s even close to breaking Jamie Vardy‘s record of consecutive games with goals.

Lukaku has scored in his last seven games, which is just four shy of what Vardy did earlier this season.

Before being told he was no longer wanted at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea officials quizzed Mourinho about his decision to sell the 22-year-old and leave the club short up front.

Since Lukaku’s departure, Chelsea have had Diego Costa, Didier Drogba, Loic Remy and Radamel Falcao as striking options, but none have been more impressive than Lukaku in recent times, despite Costa‘s scoring-form last year.
