He recently admitted that it was not Mourinho, and it was his choice rather, to leave Chelsea on loan as he did not see a prospect of starting for Chelsea.

He told telegraph.co.uk : “I was already tough, but I had to have more self-confidence. I knew the only way to get that was by playing and scoring goals. That was why I had to leave Chelsea.”

“I did not know if I would be playing for Chelsea so I asked the manager to let me leave. We spoke and I told him.”

“It’s unfair to criticise Mourinho for letting me go because it was my decision. He knows what he is doing. He has won so many titles and I have too much respect for him to wish anything but the best, but there comes a point where you must think about yourself to show everyone that you can shine and be one of the best strikers in the league,” concluded the Belgian 20-year-old.
