Ferdinand further expanded on how Lukaku is dropping deep at times to aid his team’s game-play. That, in turn, is affecting the Belgian’s output.
Lukaku, since his €113 million return to Chelsea, has scored 10 goals across competitions for them, only five of which have come in the Premier League. He seemed to be returning to form after recovering from Covid-19 in late December, but has gone four league matches without scoring since.
