Chelsea have re-signed striker Romelu Lukaku from Inter Milan for $280 million.

He is expected to earn close to $200,000 pounds per week.

The 28-year-old Belgian returns to Chelsea on a five-year deal after having left the club to join Everton in 2014.

Lukaku joined Manchester United from Everton in 2017 and then took a transfer to Inter Milan in 2019.

He scored 24 goals in Serie A last season which saw Inter win their first league title in 11 years.

Meanwhile the English Premier League kicks off tomorrow with Arsenal taking on Brentford in the first match at 7am.
