Former Chelsea boss, Glenn Hoddle, has a message for out-of-form striker Romelu Lukaku.

The Belgian centre-forward has struggled to find his best form this term, after signing for a massive fee from Inter Milan in the summer.

Lukaku, who was at Chelsea earlier in his career, is rumored to want a move away from the club at the end of the season.

“I’ve never seen an amount of money score a goal to be honest!,” Hoddle said, per Goal.com.

“Listen, if Chelsea are going to win the Champions League, FA Cup and get into the top four then Lukaku needs to get himself going.

“When you have a substitute like Lukaku, he can affect the game in a different dimension that could be needed on any given day. At the moment, he is coming on and not impacting the game.

“If he looks himself in the mirror, he could say ‘right, I am not getting in the team because Kai Havertz is playing so well but every second I am on that pitch I am going to be a threat. I will have good movement and work for chances on goal.’

“Until he does that, then Thomas Tuchel won’t pick him. He could give Chelsea another dimension from the bench. He could come on for 10 minutes from the bench and get the winner in the first or second leg. That’s the way he can get back into the first team starting eleven.

“It’s about banging the ball in the back of the net and showing the eagerness to do it on the training field. He can think about a move in the summer when he gets there but at the moment, it is about the present and he has to look himself in the mirror and get the most out of himself.”
