Thomas Tuchel 'fears repeating Romelu Lukaku mistake' with Cristiano Ronaldo or Neymar
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is reportedly fearful of signing another dud forward in the summer window after sanctioning Romelu Lukaku's season-long switch to Inter Milan.The Belgian international, 29, cost the Blues a club-record £97.5million, just 12 months ago, but flopped on his return to west London with just eight Premier League goals. Ditched by Tuchel following a car-crash interview with Sky Italia, in which he questioned the German's tactics and failed to rule out an immediate return to Inter, Lukaku has now rejoined the Serie A outfit on a season-long loan.Yet due to the Nerazurri's poor finances, Chelsea are still chipping in to cover his mega £325k-a-week wages and Tuchel is wary of making another costly error in the current window.READ MORE: Mohamed Salah was 'prepared' to move to Chelsea before signing new Liverpool dealAccording to the Evening Standard, Tuchel has been promised a minimum of six new arrivals over the summer.
