Romelu Lukaku appears to be getting closer and closer to a Chelsea return, and obviously Blues boss Thomas Tuchel was asked about him last night after their friendly against Tottenham.
It is usually quite telling when a manager is asked about a linked player, judging their reaction. Tuchel didn’t deny the rumour, and he also had a massive cheeky smile on his face when he was asked.
He simply said he wasn’t going to comment on players from another team, but also said that everyone wants to join his squad!
“Everyone wants to join my squad!”

What was also quite telling, was his response to striker questions below, saying they need a striker who plays with his back to the goal. Lukaku anyone?
Thomas Tuchel asked about the type of striker he wants to sign: “With the exit of Olivier Giroud, we could use a type player who is used to playing with their back to the goal and can keep possession as that means we can add this direct style of play to our portfolio.” #CFC pic.twitter.com/rxezUOvqBk
