The transfer guru, Fabrizio Romano, revealed that Lukovic has been on Chelsea's radar for quite some time now, and fans believe he could be the heir to Aleksandar Mitrovic.

Chelsea's Ownership Group BlueCo Eyeing Lukovic for No.9 Position

Reports suggest that Chelsea's ownership group, BlueCo, is keen on developing Lukovic for the no.9 position at Stamford Bridge. By gaining top-level European experience in Ligue 1 with Strasbourg, Lukovic could be ready to lead the line for Chelsea in the near future.

Backlash from Strasbourg Fans Over BlueCo's Ownership

BlueCo, led by Todd Boehly, acquired full ownership of Strasbourg in June. However, this move was met with massive backlash from Strasbourg fans, with ultras groups protesting and displaying signs saying "Boehly go home." The club's supporters group also criticized Boehly and Chelsea, expressing concerns about the competence of the ownership group.

Opportunity for Chelsea's Next Generation of Players

Despite the controversy surrounding BlueCo's ownership, it does provide an advantage for Chelsea. Strasbourg can now serve as a finishing school for Chelsea's young talents, allowing them to gain valuable experience and develop their skills in a competitive European league.
