Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku has told beIN SPORTS that he does not want to play for Arsenal ever.
Lukaku made his ‘second’ debut for Chelsea against Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium this evening.
The Belgium international, who returned to Chelsea from Inter Milan in the summer transfer window, scored the opening goal for Thomas Tuchel’s side in their 2-0 win.
After the match, during an interview with beIN SPORTS, the former Manchester United striker was told that Arsenal fans are saying that they want him to play for them now.
Lukaku’s response: “Never.”
Lukaku was brilliant for Chelsea against Arsenal and was arguably the best player on the pitch.
The former Everton striker scored a good goal, held the ball up, and helped in build-up play.
The striker was very clever with his movement, and his strength on the ball really troubled the Arsenal defenders.
Arsenal would be a better team with Lukaku in it, but as the striker himself says, he will “never” join the Gunners.
Chelsea and Arsenal are London rivals. The Blues are also ‘ahead’ of the Gunners in terms of winning major trophies.
The Blues have won the Premier League title more recently than Arsenal and also clinched the Champions League last season.
