Jamie Carragher has warned Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel that he is handling a ‘timebomb’ in the shape of Romelu Lukaku.

Lukaku returned to Chelsea last summer in a ₤ 97million relocation from Inter.

The Belgian began the season on a brilliant note but has lost his form and was heavily criticsed by Tuchel for his listless recent screens against Manchester City and Brighton.

Carragher believes that the Blues need to sell Lukaku in June in order to create a team truly efficient in winning the Premier League.

“Thomas Tuchel is handling the very same striker who prompted Manchester United to lack perseverance and sell him to Inter Milan,” the Liverpool legend informed Telegraph.

“That’s why I can’t help however believe there is a timebomb in the Chelsea dressing room, with the gamer and club currently losing perseverance with each other.”
