Former Norwegian international forward Jan Age Fjortoft has claimed that Chelsea did not want to sign Romelu Lukaku this summer.

The Blues have agreed a £97.5 million deal to sign Lukaku from Inter Milan, with the 28-year-old set to pen a five-year contract with the club.

However, Fjortoft says the Belgian international striker was not the Blues’ number one target this summer.

Lukaku great signing for Chelsea of course.

But just to make it clear: Haaland was 1st choice. Talks between clubs.

Understand that they “agreed”: “Package too expensive”

Lukaku- package expensive too.

So this is more: Dortmund and Chelsea couldn’t agree https://t.co/rEGPGHLECe
