Robert Lewandowski is the best solution to Thomas Tuchel's Romelu Lukaku problem at Chelsea

Losing Romelu Lukaku has been a bitter-sweet revelation for Chelsea fans. Since his homecoming last summer, he hasn’t quite lit up Stamford Bridge in the ways that were expected. Now that his loan deal back to Inter Milan has been finalised, the Blues will need to assess his replacement.
