The 35-year-old veteran gave his view of the situation with the Blues forward. 'The English league it totally different, too strong, too powerful. Italian league is too slow.
The pace of English football is way too much for Italian league.' Mikel said. The 29-year-old Belgian striker rejoined Chelsea for a club record £97.5million fee in August last year, but failed to light up the Premier League after a promising start to the 2021/22 campaign.
Lukaku scored just eight goals in the top-flight and looked has seemingly out of place in Thomas Tuchel's system.
The former Everton and Manchester United striker might not be new to the thrills of English football before his eventual switch to Italy, but the former westbrom forward has certainly looked off the pace since his return, struggling to influence games for the Blues under Thomas Tuchel.
