‘Dull’ Lukaku has major problem but Chelsea not to blame – West Ham legend

Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku only has himself to blame for his recent Premier League goal drought, one pundit has claimed.

The Blues paid a club-record £97.5million to re-sign the Belgium international from Inter this summer. They hope he will prove the missing piece in their puzzle and help fire them to their first title since 2016.

While he enjoyed an impressive start, though, he has not scored in six matches.

The Blues may still be top of the Premier League after Saturday’s 1-0 win over Brentford, but they had goalkeeper Edouard Mendy to thank for several saves.

Indeed, Lukaku failed to score in that game again and Paolo di Canio has spoken out about comparisons between him and Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, who has netted eight times in nine games.
