Romelu Lukaku shares his feelings on Inter Milan reunion

The Belgian striker was asked to share his thoughts on sealing a return to the Nerazzurri after a frustrating year at Stamford Bridge, with the ex-Man United star using the opportunity to express his delight.

Lukaku, who managed just eight Premier League goals last season with the Blues admitted that he was delighted to be returning to the San Siro.

"I’m very happy to be back," the 29-yea-old told reporters as he smiled.

The ex-Everton ace is expected to spend the rest of the 2022/23 campaign with the Italian side where he flourished before he rejoined Chelsea last summer.

Lukaku will be hoping to rediscover his form under Simone Inzaghi who took charge of Inter after the departure of Antonio Conte.

Chelsea make formal bid to sign Man City star

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Chelsea have made a formal offer to sign Manchester City forward, Raheem Sterling, this summer.

The Blues are keen to reinforce their attack line following the departure of Romelu Lukaku who rejoined Inter Milan on loan.

Sterling is believed to have been shortlisted as Chelsea's No.1 summer target, with Thomas Tuchel hoping to receive backing from the club's new owners in his bid to strengthen his squad.
