Romelu Lukaku flying in to complete £25million move to Everton from Chelsea on five-year deal

Romelu Lukaku is on the verge of completing a £25million move from Chelsea to Everton.

The striker had been expected to join up with Jose Mourinho's side on Wednesday afternoon but he is now flying to England from Belgium to seal a five-year, £75,000-a-week deal with the Toffees.

On Wednesday Lukaku posted a picture of himself on Twitter seated on a jet, giving a thumbs-up and broad smile, along with the caption: 'Time to write a new chapter.'

The 21-year-old enjoyed a successful loan spell at Goodison Park last season, scoring 15 Premier League goals in 31 appearances after joining the club on transfer deadline day.

His future has been the subject of intense speculation over the summer, with Atletico Madrid and Wolfsburg among the clubs interested in his services.
But Everton boss Roberto Martinez has convinced the in-demand forward that his future lies on Merseyside as he bids to improve upon last season's fifth-placed finish.
Lukaku's goals proved vital as Everton mounted an impressive assault on the league's top four, only to see their challenge for a Champions League spot come to a disappointing end in the closing weeks of the campaign.
He will eligible to face Mourinho's men on August 30 when Everton host Chelsea at Goodison.
Speaking to TALKSPORT about a deal for Lukaku last week, Martinez said: 'Rom fits in really, really well at Goodison.
'We created a fantastic bond with the player, and the player with the fans, and that is something that we would love to extend.'
