Chelsea would be mad to let Romelu Lukaku leave the club this summer, according to the Blues’ former coach and player Ray Wilkins. The striker’s future has been in doubt since he joined Everton on a season-long loan last summer, even though the Stamford Bridge side have limited attacking options themselves.
Even though he had a good season at the Toffee’s it still appears that he won’t be getting playing time at Chelsea. In fact, he may be waving goodbye to the club as reports suggest the Belgian may be offered to Atletico in a part-exchange deal for Diego Costa.
But Ray Wilkins believes they should keep Lukaku at the club. He said:
“Lukaku has to come back to Chelsea in my opinion. This young man is the closest thing you’ll see to the ‘Drog’ [Didier Drogba] at such a young age.
Chelsea are currently in talks over a £32m move for Diego Costa and the club are expected to announce his arrival next month, while they are also keeping an eye on Mario Mandzukic from Bayern Munich.
