Romelu Lukaku Gets ‘Weird’ Jersey Number on Inter Milan Return As Social Media Sends Chelsea to the Cleaners

• Chelsea loanee Romelu Lukaku will wear the number 90 jersey at Inter Milan following his return to the Italian top-flight
• The Belgian departed Inter Milan last summer for Chelsea, who paid the Serie A giants a whopping £97million for his services
• Lukaku returns to the Italian side where he previously spent two seasons, winning the Italian Scudetto and the Serie A Player of the Year award

Romelu Lukaku's jersey number for his second spell at Italian outfit Inter Milan has been revealed.

The towering Belgian forward completed a season-long loan deal to the Serie A giants after successfully passing his mandatory medicals.

Romelu endured an underwhelming campaign with Chelsea, scoring just eight goals in the Premier League as he struggled to hold down a place in Thomas Tuchel's team.

Lukaku made no secret of his unhappiness in London, forcing the Blues to sanction his return on loan to Inter.

He will wear No. 90 in the upcoming season for the Nerazzurri after previously wearing the No. 9 jersey in his first stint with the Blue and Blacks.

Lukaku expressed his delight on his return to Inter: "I’m very happy to be back," the 29-yea-old told reporters as he smiled.

This will not be the first time the Nerazzurri are being innovative with jersey numbers with a classic example being Ivan Zamorano, the Chilean took on 18, except on the back of the shirt it was written as 1+8, making a total of 9 after his No. 9 jersey was handed to Brazilian great Ronaldo.

His new jersey number has caused a massive stir on social media with many users trolling Chelsea?
