Chelsea target and Belgium international striker Romelu Lukaku reportedly wants to seal a summer switch to Stamford Bridge, according to The Sun.
The Premier League side, who host West Ham United in their opening 2016/17 English top-flight campaign fixture on August 15, have been linked with luring the Everton star back to London ahead of the new term.

The 23-year-old, who has 51 international caps for his country and featured for Belgium at this summer’s European Championships in France, scored a remarkable 25 goals and provided seven assists in 46 appearances in all competitions for the Toffees last season.
Lukaku, who arrived at Goodison Park from the Blues back in July 2014 after making his loan spell permanent in a £28m deal, is understood to have told friends he has unfinished business at Chelsea.
The report suggests that Everton boss Ronald Koeman is looking to bag around £75m for the Belgian’s services this summer.
