"He leads by example" - Thomas Tuchel hails Chelsea star as future captain

Published on: 19 September 2021

Thomas Tuchel has tipped Romelu Lukaku to become Chelsea captain in the future. 

The German manager claims the striker already behaves like a captain, and that is very important on the pitch.

Chelsea signed Romelu Lukaku earlier this summer for a club-record fee of £97 million. The Belgian has started off well at Stamford Bridge, scoring in three of the four games he has played for them.

Ahead of the Tottenham clash on Sunday night, Thomas Tuchel was asked if he sees Romelu Lukaku as a future Chelsea captain. He admitted the chances are there but backed Cesar Azpilicueta and Jorginho to continue for the time being.

"Yes, I think he could be. He has a lot of things you need to be a captain. But we have fantastic captains so no need to think about this now. He behaves like one and this is more important than to actually have the captain's band."
