Chelsea are closing in on a deal to re-sign Romelu Lukaku and are confident they will agree a deal with Everton shortly, the Evening Standard has revealed.
If the transfer goes through, the Belgium international will become Antonio Conte's third summer signing after Michy Batshuayi and N'Golo Kante.
Gazzetta World went one step further as they believe the player has already agreed personal terms with the Blues.
Last week, the Italian refused to reject reports claiming that the 23-year-old will be signed this week.
"I do not want to speak about the players of other teams," Conte told reporters.
"This is not respectful to the club or to their players. I prefer not to speak.
"The transfer market is not the most important thing.
"The important thing is to build a team – a team that plays in good and bad situations and concentrates and works together."
