Romelu Lukaku is now once again a Chelsea player no less than seven years after being deemed surplus to requirement at the Stamford Bridge side.

The reported fee is around €130 million, and will see the Belgium international solve Thomas Tuchel's number nine conundrum.

The German manager has rotated between Timo Werner and Kai Havertz through the middle at Stamford Bridge, but a new centre-forward was deemed a priority this summer.

The club have settled on Lukaku after a failed pursuit of Erling Haaland, and the move has now been completed.
