Everton striker Romelu Lukaku has been heavily linked with a return to Chelsea FC this summer, and this video below will only further increase speculation. Transfer rumors have surrounded the Belgian all year long. It even reached the point that Lukaku himself felt the need to comment on the Chelsea return (and even Manchester United transfer rumors) narrative.
Lukaku, currently on holiday in Los Angeles, scored twice in a five-a-side game, and he posted some of the highlights in the latest video posted on his official Instagram account.
That five-a-side match was played on a Chelsea FC branded pitch, which inspired a lot of conversation in the post’s comments section. As it’s social media, you can imagine some of the places that the conversation went. Have a look:
65,000 views, 1,100 comments and counting. Of course, a Lukaku return to his former club hinges on the departure of Diego Costa first, and that’s a situation which just got more complicated due to a FIFA mandate.
