After all, the Italian has already proven with Lukaku at Inter that he can take a striker to a whole other level, so he could work wonders with a still-raw talent with as much potential as Vlahovic.
The Belgian came straight into the season off the back of a run to the Euro 2020 quarter-finals with Belgium but his season is another of those to be interrupted by injury, meaning he too has started less than half of Chelsea's games this season, and none since October 16.
Raheem Sterling has a poor record with six successful efforts out of 12 while Jack Grealish was one of those criticised for not stepping up against Italy having not taken a senior penalty in regulation.

Rodrigo pinched the ball from Tyrone Mings on the edge of the area to find James and the winger beat the Villa goalkeeper with a smart low finish to hand the visitors the lead against the run of play.
And he has to think beyond the now. It was a misunderstanding that led to Messi being substituted in a match against Lyon in September with the score at 1-1.

Rooney also admitted that he would love to make a return to Old Trafford down the line but acknowledged that, if he was to be in the frame to succeed his former team-mate, he would have likely had some indication by now.
