Former Chelsea defender, Glen Johnson has picked a ‘perfect replacement’ for Romelu Lukaku for manager Thomas Tuchel.

He said that the Blues already have the perfect replacement for the Belgium International and does not need to delve into the transfer market for a new striker.

Lukaku left Chelsea earlier this week and will spend the next season on loan at Inter as his return to Stamford Bridge 12 months ago in a club-record £97million deal, did not yield the expected result.

And Johnson believes Armando Broja can perform the Lukaku role next season.

The 20-year-old impressed on loan at Southampton last season and had been interesting to West Ham.

“I think Chelsea are going to be reluctant to spend scary money again considering what happened with the Romelu Lukaku signing,” Johnson said, according to Metro

“I’d give Armando Broja a chance rather than spending £80 million on a replacement.

“Broja is technically good in front of goal, but I don’t know how good he is yet. He did score some fantastic goals for Southampton.”
