See why 'Mourinho must be falling about with laughter'

To snatch the Belgium international from under the gaze of Chelsea, who clearly wanted him, must have left a very sweet taste in Mourinho’s mouth, pundit Garth Crooks told BBC Sport.



He knows only too well what Antonio Conte could do with a player such as Lukaku at his disposal.

Now Chelsea have lost the striker and look like losing Diego Costa - all because of Conte’s impetuousness and inability to resist sending his top goalscorer a text stating his services were no longer required before he knew he had Lukaku in the bag.

Mourinho must be falling about with laughter.
