The 24-year-old was on the books of the London club from 2011 until 2014 when he made the switch to Everton on a permanent contract.

Lukaku struggled to make an impact at Stamford Bridge, but the striker developed and improved massively at Everton.

During the 2016-17 campaign, the former Anderlecht star scored 25 goals and provided six assists in 37 Premier League appearances for the Merseyside outfit, who will be aiming to break into the top six next season.
