This summer, Chelsea signed Romelu Lukaku from Inter Milan for more than €100 million to improve the team's attacking strength. Lukaku scored thirty goals in all competitions last season, helped Inter regain the league title, has a wealth of Premier League experience in the past, making the outside world think that Chelsea signed Lukaku again is a good acquisition, but after a short "honeymoon period" at the beginning of the season, Lukaku was affected by injuries and "public relations storms", began to become a substitute for the team, thirty-four games scored twelve goals Although not lost, but the first kick in the Crystal Palace campaign, but only seven touches of the ball data is a big surprise, The extremely low level of participation on the pitch is also a microcosm of Romelu Lukaku's recent performances. In order to bring in Lukaku this summer, Chelsea did not hesitate to let go of a number of strikers, and the time has changed, how have they performed and encountered?
Olivier Giroud
Team: AC Milan
Performance: 29 games, 11 goals, 4 assists
In fact, Thomas Tuchel relied heavily on Olivier Giroud after taking office, although it is not necessary for the team to start, but this French striker has also become an important member of the team to win the Champions League. With the addition of Lukaku and the rise of Kay Havertz, Giroud's entry is bound to be compressed again, and with the World Cup approaching, Giroud can only seek to leave the team. After joining AC Milan, the playing time has been greatly improved than at Chelsea, and during Iba's injury, he has delivered a good performance, especially against Inter Milan's two-time goal and a sharp shot against Napoli, giving the main title rivals a head-on blow, and also achieving AC Milan to rank first in the table with a three-point advantage. Giroud has been fighting in the Premier League for many years but has not been able to win the Premier League title, and it is also to be seen whether he will win the league title in his first Serie A.
Tammy Abraham
Team: Roma
Performance: 40 games, 23 goals, 4 assists
Thomas Tuchel reused Kay Havertz and Giroud in the forward position, and even rarely used Tammy Abraham with Christian Pulisic cameos, so Tammy Abraham's departure was inevitable, and finally joined Roma for 40 million euros, working with Mourinho, who had a side of Chelsea. Roma have been average this year, only sixth in the league, but Tammy Abraham has been brilliant, scoring twenty-three goals so far, including a number of key and "deadly" goals. Although Tammy Abraham has left Chelsea, he is still not insulated from the team, and his contract contains a buy-back clause of 80 million euros, so it is not surprising that Tammy Abraham will once again wear the Blues shirt in the coming days, but tammy Abraham's excellent performance has reportedly attracted many teams, including Manchester United, De Bruyne's lesson of being abandoned by the team, Chelsea should be wary and plan early.
Armando Broa
Played for: Southampton
Performance: 31 appearances, 9 goals, 1 assist
Due to the excellent performance of Vitesse in the Dutch league last season, Chelsea loaned him out to Southampton, where striker Danny Ins left the team. In the first season, he stepped into the Premier League and scored nine goals, which was remarkable, and he was praised for his play style with Haaland's shadow. Therefore, in addition to Southampton's intention to buy out, Arsenal, Dortmund and Bayern Munich are all closely monitoring the performance of the 21-year-old striker, so if Lukaku's performance does not improve, it is also feasible for Chelsea to take back Armando Broa in the coming season.
