What Lukaku wants at Chelsea

Belgium national team coach Robert Martinez has revealed what Romelu Lukaku wants at Stamford Bridge.

Martinez said the Belgian striker wants to be important in the Blues squad under Thomas Tuchel.

It is no longer news that Lukaku has been linked with a transfer away from Chelsea following a poor form in his first season back in the EPL.

He has been linked with a return to the Seria A side Inter Milan, as his lawyer is already exploring the possibility of a deal with the Italian club.

Martinez is confident that Lukaku will make the best call for his career, telling reporters: “He wants to be important and enjoy his football. I’m sure the decision in the summer will be the right one.

“In Belgium, we are quite relaxed with Romelu’s situation. I know it is a big topic, but at the moment he is trying to recover from the injury and that’s the only thing he has in his mind.

“If he stays at Chelsea it will be for the right reasons. If he’s moving away it will be because everyone agrees to it.

“Romelu is a player I know very well. I managed him at the club level (at Everton) at a very young age.

“He was 19 and had a very different position than he has now. Now he’s a player who is very mature and very clear what he wants.”
