Ronaldo will be a flop at Chelsea than Lukaku – Nevin

The Blues’ former winger Pat Nevin has reacted to Cristiano Ronaldo’s link to Chelsea this summer.

Nevin in a statement said the Portugal star will be a flop at Chelsea than Romelu Lukaku, who moved away from Stamford Bridge this summer.

Lukaku returned to Inter Milan on loan a year after his record £97.5m move to Stamford Bridge last year.

The Belgian striker scored just eight times in the Premier League last season.

Following his departure, Chelsea were linked with a move for Ronaldo, who is keen on leaving Manchester United this summer to play Champions League football.

“I think Ronaldo would be even more of a poor fit than Lukaku was for Chelsea,” Nevin told BonusCodeBets.

“When Lukaku signed last season, people thought he would be the missing link but I thought by signing him, Thomas Tuchel was throwing his style of play out the window if indeed it was Thomas who signed him! It didn’t make sense to me.

“While Ronaldo scores a lot of goals, of the ball you are almost playing with ten men which you cannot do in the Premier League and be competitive.

“Some Chelsea fans may love it, but there have been some cases over the years around Chelsea which have made them look like a circus.”
