For now, I just want to get to know my team-mates better. Then at the end of the day I'm available for the manager to fit me into his tactics."LONDON - The number nine shirt at Chelsea has been something of a poisoned chalice in recent years, with Gonzalo Higuain, Fernando Torres, Alvaro Morata and Radamel Falcao all enduring long goal droughts while wearing the jjersey.but Lukaku jumped at the chance to take the number 9 after the jersey was vacated when Tammy Abraham joined AS Roma earlier this week.Lukaku spent three years at Chelsea between 2011 and 2014, but rarely featured before being sold to Everton,now is almost 10 years after arriving in west London as an unknown teenager, Lukaku has returned as one of the world's top strikers.His superb form, including 27 goals and 11 assists, helped Inter win Serie A last season.Dispite his star turn at Inter, Lukaku still has some doubters in England following some bad displays during a two-year stay at Manchester United that ended acrimoniously in 2019.Lukaku insists he is a different character after his transformative time in Italy.Lukaku's revival has been aided by advice from Chelsea and Ivory Coast legend Didier Drogba.Although Chelsea won the Champions League last season, they struggled for goals at times as Timo Werner flopped on his debut season with the Blues.Lukaku is confident he can fill any role required by Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel and he expects to hit the ground running.Chelsea are looking forward to win more trophies under the manager Thomas Tuchel after he won 2020/2021 Uefa Champions League,in 2019/2020 he was beaten on the finals with PSG then he left to Chelsea to lift the trophy
