EPL transfer: Lukaku asked to leave Chelsea

Former Chelsea playmaker, Florent Malouda has advised striker, Romelu Lukaku, to leave Stamford Bridge.

Malouda said Lukaka should rather join Blues rivals, West Ham.

The Frenchman also told the former Manchester United and Everton star to consider a switch to Tottenham

“Unfortunately it has reached breaking point for Lukaku at Chelsea,” Malouda told Betway.

“It’s not about football, it seems to be about feelings and it’s sad to see because I know he is a big Chelsea fan but the club is on another path.

“Lukaku still could reach his prime in European football but he’s a sensitive person. I don’t think Man Utd would be a good idea.

“Tottenham would be a good option though as it may suit him to go to a London club. Spurs could be a solution but West Ham could be a good idea as well.

“West Ham is becoming an attractive club to join… they will be competing like last year in Europe, so it’s a good era to be a West Ham fan. More players will be interested in signing for them.

“I hope at one point Lukaku’s hunger to play games will help him make the right choice to be happy on the pitch.

“It’s sad, people are unhappy because they see him unhappy on the pitch.”
