Thomas Tuchel: Romelu Lukaku 'should've known better' with bombshell interview

Thomas Tuchel insists Chelsea's saga with record signing Romelu Lukaku has now been neatly resolved, but admits the experienced striker should have known better before delivering a bombshell interview.

Amid a prolific spell on the pitch, following his goal-scoring exploits against both Aston Villa and Brighton, Lukaku gave an exclusive interview to Sky Italia in which he opened up on his unhappiness under Tuchel and his desire to one day play for Inter Milan again.

The revelation went down terribly in the Chelsea ranks and Lukaku was quickly banished from the match-day squad prior to the team's huge title race showdown with Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.
