Former scout Daniel Boga on why Mbappe failed Chelsea trial: "In England they want to see the player track back and be a hard worker. At the time, he wasn't a hard worker, defensively he wasn't there. When he got the ball, he was unbelievable, but without it, he didn't work."
"Chelsea wanted to see him again to see how he could improve on this - I think that's why they asked him back. He did skilful things and dribbled well, so maybe the things they wanted to see in the second trial was improved work on the defensive side."

Simon Johnson: "Sterling has been asking questions to people that he knows about Tuchel. How he acts as a coach, what he’s like, what Chelsea is like as a club to play for and the inner workings. When a player does that they are doing it for obvious reasons – they’re keen to go."

According to Sky Sport Italia Inter correspondent Matteo Barzaghi, Lukaku had wanted to make the return to Inter as early as January.
