Romelu Lukaku has struggled to make much of an impact at Chelsea since his £97.5million homecoming last summer. Well, on the pitch, at least.
It’s early days at Stamford Bridge for the Belgian striker but after a slow start Chelsea will be hoping he doesn’t become the latest in a long line of Premier League club record signings who have left their bosses feeling buyer’s remorse.
This is my verdict on every top-flight team’s most expensive addition, and whether they have been a hit or a miss.
Arsenal — Nicolas Pepe £72m
He’s scored 26 goals in 101 games, which sounds nice, but they’ve largely come against inferior opponents in competitions outside the Premier League.
