Lukaku the missing piece to boost Chelsea's Premier League hopes

The Hindu  

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel worked his magic last season to guide them to Champions League success but they now look like genuine Premier League contenders too after the arrival of Romelu Lukaku as the missing piece to complete their attack. Chelsea finished fourth last season but scored the fewest goals among the top seven teams, with its leading scorer being midfielder Jorginho whose seven all came from the penalty spot. Enter Belgium striker Lukaku, who flourished in Serie A with Inter Milan by scoring 24 goals in last season's title-winning run, with Chelsea having no qualms about spending a club record 97.5 million pounds for the 28-year-old. READ: WSL: Chelsea, Brighton and Arsenal win big as Leicester loses to Man United With three goals in three starts, Lukaku is already in the race for the golden boot and had the perfect homecoming on Saturday, scoring his first goal at Stamford Bridge.
