Lukaku only returned to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2021 on a £97.5m deal from Inter, but has endured a rough time back in west London.

The Belgium international ended the season with just eight Premier League goals in 26 games, falling behind Kai Havertz in the pecking order. He was also scrutinised for giving an interview with Italian media midway through the campaign in which he declared his intention to return to Inter one day.
