Speaking on CBS Sports, Henry explained his reasoning for advising Lukaku against the move at the time: “Because of the way Tuchel likes to play.

“Pressing and pressing, you’re the nine, I’m the nine, you’re the winger, I’m the winger – you interchange.

“Rom likes to stay where he is, feed him, play him in early and he will try to bully you, turn, stay in the box, crosses – he’s a different type of nine to what Tuchel wanted.”
