Chelsea Will Not Sell Lukaku – Geremi

Chelsea striker, Romelu Lukaku has not offered any indication that he wants out of the club, Geremi has said. The ex-Blues midfielder recently revealed that the club will not look to sell the Belgian either.

According to him, Lukaku‘s attitude has been great in recent games and he expects him to keep giving 100 percent in matches to come.

Geremi added that there was clearly a misunderstanding or misinterpretation of what the striker said to the press.

His words, “I was a bit surprised.”

“As a former player I know there are a lot of situations like this. But when I watch the last performances of Lukaku, his attitude is great.”

“I didn’t watch him at the training ground but on the pitch, after the match against Tottenham, he was sharing the victory with the fans. He was giving 100 per cent.”

“What I read and heard was not the same as I was seeing. If you are not happy, why are you going to fight? You cannot lie to yourself and you wouldn’t have the same motivation.”

“Also for the club, it is not good to keep players that don’t have motivation and ambition. But when I look at Lukaku, maybe there was a misunderstanding or misinterpretation of what he has said.”

“There is no doubt that he is one of the strongest centre-forwards in the world.”

“For Chelsea, when you look at football around the world, Lukaku is one of the best in that position. For Chelsea to lose that player would be a very big loss.”

“Not just because I am a fan of Chelsea, but I think they have to keep him. He has to stay. I’m not inside to see what’s going on, but from watching him I can’t see any problems.”
