Chelsea are pushing to close a deal for Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku today.

The Daily Mail says Chelsea are expected to agree a deal with Inter Milan for Lukaku in the next 24 hours.

They are believed to be offering £95million plus add-ons for the 28-year-old after a bid of £85m plus left back Marcos Alonso was rejected.

Earlier, Inter set Chelsea a deadline of Sunday to complete a deal, with the Belgium international informing Inter boss Simone Inzaghi he was keen to go back to Stamford Bridge for a second spell.

Chelsea are prepared to make Lukaku one of the Premier League's top earners with a basic salary of more than £350,000 a week.

Chelsea and Inter are to hold further talks on Friday as they edge towards an agreement.
