Havertz, Werner, Lukaku: Chelsea in Premier-League Check
No matter where. Does not matter when. And no matter who. Again and again there was Erling Haaland, at the beginning or end of each article about the summery transfer plans of FC Chelsea. Or over the next summer, because it was so difficult to pay the colors 175 million euros for Erling Haaland, which even Erling Haaland were unpleasant.
As well as Roman Abramovich someday understood that Borussia Dortmund did not sell the other superstar to Jadon Sancho (Manchester United), so he took what he already knew - and made 115 million euros loose to Romelu Lukaku after seven years Return the Stamford Bridge.
At that time, the decision makers at FC Chelsea had not added the breakthrough to the 21-year-old Belgian as before Kevin de Bruyne and has a little thunderstormed little later that they were wrong with their assessment. So right, really wrong.
Only at Inter became Lukaku a world-class striker
Lukaku landed over Everton and Manchester United at Inter and was at the latest there a hardly deposited nature violence, which would now like to correct the last impression she left in the Premier League. At that time, two years ago at manunited, Lukaku was allegedly overweight to prepare, and somehow both parties did not really fit together. Although Lukaku was able to prove 55 direct door participations in 96 competitive games for United.
Now, after two years inter and 80 gate participations in 95 performances, Lukaku returns to London as an Italian champion and one of the world's best attackers and could be the last puzzle part in the team of Thomas Tuchel.
The 47-year-old has extended his contract in the summer after the Champions League victory directly until 2024 and now also taken the Paris family to London. He feels comfortable with Chelsea and may build on a promising first half of the year.
Was the Champions League victory for Chelsea only the beginning?

Under Tuchel, a colorful and expensive colleague was grew into one - yes, really - team together, who barely conceded goals, in the league of Square nine on four climbed and turned atletico in the Champions League, then Real Madrid and finally mancity.
The triumph in the royal class, which at the same time overperate a weak season finish, was probably only the beginning of a success story, because such a radical shopping tour as in the past summer (including Hvertz, Werner, Chilwell, Ziyech) no longer on foreseeable time will be necessary.
Tuchel, however, should now consider what use he finds for Hvertz and / or Werner. The former Leverkusener had been able to show in the final phase of the season in the offensive midfield next to Mason Mount, also the interaction with Werner worked well. Lastly, however, Lukaku gets a striker in front of her nose, which makes that Werner often missed. And what so many players in the Chelsea squad was missing: Goals.
That Jorginho hit the most, speaks volumes
It would also be conceivable that Tuchel can be played in the preparation for 4-2-4 and finds a wing position for Werner. In the midfield center, European champion Jorginho - by the way Chelseas's best league scientists of the preseason and all-rounder N'Golo Kanté set, in the defense Antonio Rüdiger, Thiago Silva and Co. probably new competition of Seville's Joules Koundé.
Only this defense was more stable anyway than a Mourinho team to glory times. For Chelsea, it's about improving the almost ridiculous opportunity utilization of the preseason and then to match the championship. This should be of the claim, despite a largely young team.
Placement Last year: 4 .
Who is new? Romelu Lukaku (Inter, 115 million euros)
