Chelsea break club transfer record to re-sign Romelu Lukaku
Romelu Lukaku returns to Chelsea 10 years after he first joined the club; £97.5m signing eclipses the Blues’ previous record purchase of Kai Havertz; Lukaku was the second top scorer in Serie A last season
Lukaku, who initially moved to Stamford Bridge as a 17-year-old from Belgian side Anderlecht in 2011, returns to Chelsea on a five-year deal.
The fee for Belgium’s record goalscorer surpasses the £75.8m paid for Kai Havertz last summer.

“I’m happy and blessed to be back at this wonderful club,” Lukaku told the club’s website. “It’s been a long journey for me: I came here as a kid who had a lot to learn, now I’m coming back with a lot of experience and more mature.
“The relationship I have with this club means so much to me, as you know. I have supported Chelsea as a kid and now to be back and try to help them win more titles is an amazing feeling.
