Romelu Lukaku: Chelsea striker will train on Tuesday ahead of Arsenal clash | Football news

Romelu Lukaku is expected to be involved for Chelsea against Arsenal on Sunday, live on Sky Sports Premier League.

Lukaku will train with his Chelsea team-mates for the first time on Tuesday after a quarantine period following his record-breaking £ 97.5million transfer from Inter Milan.

He returned to Chelsea this week, 10 years after first signing for the club as a teenager from Anderlecht.

The striker struggled to make an impression on his first stint – without scoring in 15 appearances – and moved to Everton in 2014 before joining Inter, via Manchester United.

But after two exceptional years at Inter, scoring 24 Serie A goals last season to help them win their first Italian title in 11 years, Lukaku said returning to Chelsea was “the chance of a lifetime”.

He had previously said he would remain at San Siro for the 2021/22 campaign, but changed his mind and asked Inter to make arrangements to sell him to Chelsea after it became clear the club wanted to make his return a reality.

Tammy Abraham to sign for Roma

Lukaku’s arrival has opened the door for Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham to join Jose Mourinho’s Roma.

He completed a medical exam on Sunday ahead of a £ 34million move.

Talks have progressed positively after Roma general manager Tiago Pinto met the striker in London on Thursday, and the Serie A side believe he will be a key part of boss Mourinho’s plans.

Abraham is expected to sign a five-year contract worth £ 4million a year after tax.

Chelsea will have a € 80million buyout option on the 23-year-old, which can be triggered in the summer of 2023.
