I always had plans to return to Chelsea – Lukaku

Romerlu Lukaku has said he always had plans to return to Chelsea after leaving for Everton.

Lukaku’s career took his lifestyle from the Midlands up to Merseyside, eventually on a permanent basis, before later moves to Manchester and Milan. Yet while leading for Man United and Inter, the Belgian’s passion as a Chelsea supporter never wavered and he maintained that desire and belief to return to SW6 before long.

“I knew I would improve as a player so it was just about timing,” he told the club’s website.

“I had two opportunities to come back, in 2016 and 2017, but it didn’t happen for various reasons.

“In the end, it happened because now is the right time, the right age, the team is doing well and everything is there for it to be successful.”
