“The defending champions, Chelsea, will definitely be in the running for the UEFA Champions League this season, but only if they manage to snap up Romelu Lukaku,” Merson told Sportskeeda. “Lukaku is a fantastic striker and will guarantee you 20-25 goals a season. No one else can do that for Chelsea right now.
“Chelsea will be a completely different proposition [this season] if they manage to get someone like him, so we will have to wait and see how this one pans out.“Some of the strongest teams in history have failed to win the competition [Champions League] back-to-back, but Chelsea will be in the reckoning, in my opinion.”
