Speaking to TalkSport, Cole noted some of the difficulties Lukaku has faced, indicating that the Belgian international looked like a leader:

Joe Cole also praised the manner with which Blues boss Thomas Tuchel handled the events around Lukaku’s infamous interview. The Chelsea legend admitted that Lukaku’s words were part of “mistakes” which footballers could make during interviews:

Last month, the unsanctioned interview Lukaku had with Sky Italia picked up steam and took Stamford Bridge by surprise. The star hinted that he wasn’t happy with Tuchel’s methods at the club and even discussed a return to Inter, where he flourished last season.

Lukaku notably sat out an important match against Liverpool and eventually apologized officially. With the viral interview now behind him, the star will be looking towards improving his goalscoring rates at Stamford Bridge.

PSG intent on parting with £75 million for Chelsea star Romelu Lukaku: Reports

According to a report from Catalan outlet El Nacional, PSG are intent on bringing Romelu Lukaku to the Parc des Princes. The move, worth £75 million, is supposedly in the works.

Lukaku is said to be the Parisiens option to replace PSG’s Kylian Mbappe whose contract hasn’t been renewed and is set to expire in approximately six months. The young PSG star has been courted by Real Madrid and could well move to the Santiago Bernabeu this summer.

Lukaku earlier spoke about a possible move back to Inter. However, this seems unlikely seeing as Inter have replaced him already with Edin Dzeko. Although Lukaku has apologized for his words, PSG are reportedly set to swoop in on the forward for a cheaper fee if he remains unhappy at Chelsea.
