His experience is required now; you cannot discard your own because He once betrayed you’: Pochettino is prepared to persuade Chelsea Loanee to return by January because his experience is now required in the Club
Chelsea finds itself at a crossroads, contemplating a swap between Romelu Lukaku and Tammy Abraham, a decision made more complex by the team’s current struggles to find the much-needed firepower up front. Recent results, including a disappointing 2-0 loss to Brentford at Stamford Bridge, have highlighted the Blues’ woes, eroding their confidence after an encouraging display against Arsenal in the previous game.
The recurring issue plaguing Chelsea is their inability to score goals, which has led to a string of disheartening losses in front of their home fans. While the club made a significant signing in Nicolas Jackson, the hunger for goals remains unsatisfied. The return of Christopher Nkunku from injury offers hope, but he typically plays a deeper role than an out-and-out No.9.
Reports from the Mirror have brought to light the possibility of Roma offering Tammy Abraham in a swap for Romelu Lukaku, who is currently on loan with the Serie A giants. However, data from SciSports warns against such a move. Lukaku’s club-fit ranking, currently third in the Premier League for Chelsea, demonstrates his compatibility with the team’s tactics. In contrast, although Tammy Abraham excels in finishing, his rankings in passing and pressing fall short.
Crucially, Romelu Lukaku has been enjoying a prolific loan spell with Roma, netting an impressive eight goals in just ten games this season. On the other hand, Tammy Abraham, initially promising with 27 goals in his first season at Roma, saw a significant dip in form, managing only nine goals in the subsequent campaign.
In light of these compelling statistics, it becomes evident that the potential swap between Lukaku and Abraham carries significant implications for Chelsea’s performance. Keeping Lukaku may be the wiser choice to address the club’s immediate goal-scoring concerns.
