Romelu Lukaku will seemingly have no problem walking straight into the Chelsea team after watching his prospective new employers struggle past Villarreal on penalties to clinch the Super Cup.
The Belgium striker landed at Biggin Hill airport just outside London on Wednesday afternoon before his £97.5million move from Inter Milan and watched as the Blues toiled for 120 minutes in front of goal.
After a difficult debut season at Stamford Bridge in the previous campaign, Hakim Ziyech opened the scoring for the Champions League holders after great play between Marcos Alonso and Kai Havertz down the left hand side.
Havertz, whose sole goal in the elite European competition was the winner in the final against Manchester City in May, cut the ball back and Timo Werner’s dummy left Ziyech with the simple task of tapping in.
Yet the 28-year-old was left requiring oxygen after injuring his shoulder and he looked in considerable pain as he walked off.
Former Liverpool defender Alberto Moreno nearly drew the Europa League winners level before the break, but his stunning effort pinged off the bar and it remained Chelsea’s game.
