Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku is set to join Serie A side Roma on a season-long loan.

The deal includes an £8m loan fee and Roma will be covering the 30-year-old Belgium international’s wages.

There are still some details to be finalised but the agreement for his return to Italy is essentially done.

The move to Roma means Lukaku will be reunited with Jose Mourinho, who persuaded him to join Manchester United ahead of Chelsea when he moved to the Old Trafford outfit from Everton in 2017.
