Everton striker Romelu Lukaku is reportedly open to returning to Chelsea this summer, two years after he was sold for £28m.

Everton striker Romelu Lukaku has reportedly not ruled out a return to Chelsea this summer.

The Belgium international joined the Toffees from the London club in a £28m deal in the summer of 2014, but he has publicly admitted that he may consider his future at the end of the season.

Lukaku has scored 25 goals for the Merseyside outfit in all competitions in the 2015-16 campaign, but Roberto Martinez's side sit 11th in the Premier League table, 15 points behind a European spot.

The striker has suggested that he is ready to move on, and despite the fact that Chelsea will not be playing Champions League football next season, there are rumblings that he would consider returning to Stamford Bridge.

According to The Mirror, Lukaku feels that he has 'unfinished business' with Chelsea after starting just one league game in three years following his move to the Blues from Anderlecht in 2011.

The report adds that Chelsea, who will be under the guidance of new manager Antonio Conte next season, are confident that they can land Lukaku's signature.
