Lukaku scored 64 goals in 95 appearances for Inter from 2019 to 2021, helping them reach the Europa League final before winning a first title in 11 years in 2021.

He wore the No 9 shirt during those seasons but will wear No 90 in 2022-23.

Lukaku struggled in his year at Stamford Bridge, scoring just eight Premier League goals and failing to nail down a regular starting place despite a £97.5m move.

He angered the Blues’ fanbase after giving an interview last December where he said he wanted to return.
