REVEALED: Thomas Tuchel 'told flop Romelu Lukaku ''there's your daddy'' when he saw Tottenham boss Antonio Conte on TV' - in a 'joke' that angered the No 9 as their Chelsea relationship collapsed

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel reportedly 'broke his relationship' with Romelu Lukaku when he made a brutal joke about Antonio Conte that 'didn't go down well'.

The unsettled Belgian striker completed his loan move back to Inter Milan on Wednesday, less than 12 months after arriving at Stamford Bridge for a club record fee of £97.5million.

Lukaku, who scored just eight times in 26 Premier League appearances last campaign, made no secret of his desire to return to the Italian giants during a controversial interview with Sky Italia last December.
