Lukaku fed up at Chelsea

Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku is clearly unhappy with his handling under current manager Thomas Tuchel.



The Belgian was re-signed by the Blues after seven years last summer. He made a terrific start with three goals from as many Premier League games.

However, he has netted just two goals from his next 16 league outings. The 28-year-old has become a bit-part player over the past few months.

Kai Havertz is now clearly the first-choice striker for the league matches, and Lukaku is said to be disturbed by his current position at the club.

According to Football Insider, the former Inter man is 'fed up' at Chelsea. It is added that there was a bust-up between him and Tuchel over his physical condition in January.

Lukaku was signed for a hefty £97.5m last summer, but it appears he could push to leave after just one campaign, provided the Blues are permitted to handle transfers.

The west London giants can't do any sort of business at the moment due to sanctions on owner Roman Abramovich. The scenario could change with a potential takeover.
