Lukaku tipped to finished as top scorer in the UCL

Chelsea returned to action in the Uefa Champions League as they hosted Russian side Zenit St. Petersburg in their first match in the League for this season.

The Blues, who are the defending champions, won the game at Stamford Bridge with a 1-0 scoreline.

Lukaku gave the Blues the lone goal in the match, and he has now being rated as a finisher by former football star Joe Cole.

Although Cole, in his statement, admitted that the Belgian star was not at his best against Zenit, he noted that Lukaku’s clinical nature makes him the perfect man to lead the line under Thomas Tuchel.

The former football star also went on to tip Lukaku, who now has four goals in four matches to his name, to be the highest goalscorer in the Champions League.

“I’m going to throw this out there; I think he’ll be top scorer in the Champions League this season.

“Lukaku didn’t even have one of his better games, he was a little bit scruffy but he’s a finisher now, a killer. Once that ball was delivered there was only going to be one winner, he’s a great finisher,” Cole said on BT Sport.

Lukaku joined the Blues from Inter Milan in a deal worth £98 million.
