Chelsea signing Romelu Lukaku is delighted to "be back home" after completing his move from Inter Milan.

Lukaku was a Chelsea player as a teenager, before he departed for Everton, then Manchester United, and finally Inter.

He left the Blues in 2014 to make a name for himself, and has now returned as a world-class center forward.

Lukaku is seen as the final piece in manager Thomas Tuchel's team, as a prolific goalscorer was sorely lacking in their starting lineups during the second half of last season.

The Belgian posted on Twitter after Chelsea announced his transfer, quoting the club's tweet and adding: "Happy to be back home (blue love heart emoji)."

Chelsea are paying Inter £97.5 million for Lukaku.
