Chelsea poised to launch transfer overhaul as Romelu Lukaku nears exit

Chelsea will get to work on overhauling their squad once Romelu Lukaku's imminent return to Inter Milan on loan has been completed with a striker, two centre backs and another forward on Thomas Tuchel's wishlist.

Lukaku's highly-anticipated return to the San Siro has reportedly been sealed after three-hour showdown talks between Inter and Chelsea on Monday.

According to Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, it took three hours to come to an agreement but Inter owner Steven Zhang has finally agreed to a loan package that is worth a £6m initial fee with an extra £1.
