Sections of the British press are reporting that Chelsea are looking to bring their former striker, Romelu Lukaku back to the club.
The Sun claims that the priority seems to be a ready-made forward, one that will come in straight away and make an instant impact.

Andy Dillon of The Sun insists that Chelsea are now stepping up plans to sign Lukaku this summer, with the former Blue being seen as the ‘most achievable’ option over Borussia Dortmund attacker, Erling Braut Haaland. The media outlet quotes a fee of around £90 million being required to land the Belgian international and bring him back to the Premier League, and the familiar surroundings of Stamford Bridge.

Lukaku has scored 29 goals in all competitions this season. The 27-year-old spent 2011-2013 at Chelsea but found playing time extremely difficult to come by. He only made eight league appearances for the Blues playing only 159 minutes during the period.
