REVEALED: Chelsea stars 'think Romelu Lukaku wants to LEAVE' after fall-out over his bombshell interview... and boss Thomas Tuchel took input from senior players before he axed the £98m striker

Chelsea players are reportedly convinced Romelu Lukaku wants out of Stamford Bridge after his bombshell interview revealing his unhappiness at the club, just five months after rejoining them for £98million.

The Belgian is in hot water after an unauthorised interview with Sky Italia in which he said he was not happy with his situation under boss Thomas Tuchel and stressed he wanted to return to Inter Milan, and his words got him dropped from Chelsea's game against Liverpool as a result.

The fallout of Lukaku's comments has hit Chelsea hard, with the player heavily criticised by pundits and former players for his attitude - and Tuchel held crisis talks with his unsettled star on Monday.
