Arsenal legend Thierry Henry revealed that he told Romelu Lukaku not to sign for Chelsea.

The Belgian forward was determined to make it at Stamford Bridge, signing from Internazionale in 2021.

Despite arriving for a near record fee at the time, Lukaku struggled under German coach Thomas Tuchel and was eventually loaned back to Inter a year later.

Speaking on CBS Sports, Henry explained his reasoning for advising Lukaku against the move at the time: “Because of the way Tuchel likes to play.

“Pressing and pressing, you're the nine, I'm the nine, you're the winger, I'm the winger - you interchange.

“Rom likes to stay where he is, feed him, play him in early and he will try to bully you, turn, stay in the box, crosses - he's a different type of nine to what Tuchel wanted."
