Chelsea ready to get deal done for £97.5 million star – Nkunku’s perfect partner
Shaun Wright-Phillips believes Romelu Lukaku could still have a part to play at CHELSEA following the arrival of Christopher Nkunku.
Chelsea are now ready to take a significant loss on the £97.5 million they spent on signing Lukaku from Inter less than two years ago, as they believe he is not the man to lead the club back to success.
The big man has no desire to make a move back to Stamford Bridge – has made it very clear on numerous occasions that he would like to stay in Seria A from next season onwards.
But Wright-Phillips feels Nkunku, who joined in a £52m deal from RB Leipzig last week, could be the ideal partner for Lukaku under Mauricio Pochettino next term.
‘Last season, [having no striker] was their biggest crime,’ Wright-Phillips told Metro.co.uk.
‘Yes, they were losing matches and conceding goals, but it wasn’t that they weren’t making chances, it was that they weren’t scoring them. They need someone to put the ball in the back of the net and Rom is a striker.
‘They’re never going to recoup what they paid for him and I don’t think he has any other options so I imagine he’ll be back.
‘Poch could get something out of him, maybe with Christopher Nkunku playing behind him.’

Most Chelsea fans will tell you that they do not want to see Lukaku back at the club – they cont want the board to pay that massive £300k-a-week wages – they want a better striker.
If CHELSEA bring back the big man is will be a big mistake – he does not want to be at the club – has no desire for it – so it would just be a waste of a squad number
