‘Chelsea must retake Lukaku’

This Saturday, Chelsea won 1-0 against Leeds. A victory which however does not allow the Blues to do better than their current tenth place in the standings, seven lengths from a European place.

And when you look at the statistics, there is something striking about the head of the London club, the fact that he has the worst attack of the top ten, well behind the others. Newcastle, who are the second worst attack in the top 10, have scored eleven more goals since the start of the season.

For the former Everton and Arsenal Kevin Campbell, there is therefore one thing that must change next season at the Blues. “One problem is who’s your number 9? [Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang] do not play. Let’s be honest, you need a number 9, someone who can score goals,” he told talkSPORT.

IN THE TOP

“The key is this, with all the money they spent, why don’t they have a striker? I think Lukaku, if a manager wants to work with a striker who can score twenty goals – twenty goals for Chelsea it catapults them to the top of the table – sometimes you have to take it easy with these things. Obviously Lukaku left in a way that wasn’t great but he’s still a Chelsea player.” he.
