Chelsea confirmed the return of formidable Belgium striker
Romelu Lukaku is officially back in Chelsea. For KSh14,7 billion paid to Inter - the most significant amount of money paid for a single player in the history of an Italian club - and an annual salary of KSh1,5 billion.
The London club confirmed the return of the Belgian striker on social networks.

Asked about his first impressions with his new-old club, he said:
''I'm happy, blessed to be back at this wonderful club. I have supported Chelsea as a kid. The way the club is going fits my ambitions perfectly and just coming off winning Serie A. This opportunity comes at the right time and we can have a lot of success together.''
During his two-season-long tenure at Inter, Lukaku played 95 games and scored as many as 64 goals. He was most responsible for the return of the Scudetto to Giuseppe Meazza stadium last season, but due to the financial problems of the Milan club, he is just another one of those who left the champion side his summer. The salary was crucial, which will be much higher for him at Stamford Bridge.
Although they managed to win the Champions League last season, Chelsea struggled with the attackers. Timo Werner annoyed the fans more with misses than he pleased them with goals, while his replacements Tammy Abraham and Callum Hudson-Odoi, were also below the level expected from the top players of the best European team.
Romelu Lukaku should change that.
