Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku has continued to fuel rumours of an exit from the London club with suspicious behaviour on his social media channels.

The Belgium international made the return to Stamford Bridge in the summer, when he agreed to move from Inter for a club-record fee of £97.5 million.

However, since returning to London, things haven’t exactly gone to plan for Lukaku, with poor form and injury defining his season to date.

Across 18 appearances in all competitions to date, the towering striker has managed just seven goals and two assists for Thomas Tuchel’s side.

The forward then threw the cat among the pigeons last week, when he gave an explosive interview with Sky Italia, in which he confirmed that he would have happily stayed at Inter if the club had offered him a new contract and never made the move to Chelsea if he knew Tuchel’s tactics would impact his performances on the pitch.

Such remarks led to Lukaku being dropped by the Chelsea manager during the club’s 2-2 draw with Liverpool on Sunday, with no news yet on whether the striker will return to the first team matchday squad.

What has Lukaku done now?

Yet, a hint of what’s to come may be found on social media, where Lukaku has been nothing short of mysterious in his actions.

Amidst the uproar from Chelsea fans after his remarks, Lukaku quietly deleted his twitter account - with some reports suggesting he did it shortly after giving the interview with Sky Italia.

As if that wasn’t odd enough, the Belgium international then raised further eyebrows on Facebook, with some noticing that the player had perhaps removed any mention of him being a Chelsea player - despite still having “Inter Milan” in the page bio.

Of course, it’s possible that the page simply hasn’t been updated since the summer move, but Lukaku’s profile picture does have him in a Chelsea top. For now.
