Everton striker Romelu Lukaku, currently on holiday in Los Angeles, scored twice in a five-a-side game and he included those 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. You can have a look over at this link.
As you can see, there’s increased speculation that a return to Stamford Bridge is in the cards, leading Lukaku himself to respond, and he did so very passionately. Romelu Lukaku posted this message on his official Twitter account:
“Hearing all this BS again. It’s just a five-a-side game people! Some of you need to chill.”

This isn’t the first time that Lukaku has hit out at transfer rumor stories about him. Previously he spoke up on published reports claiming that he could be moving back to Chelsea, or even Manchester United. He did so with a series of Tweets that included referring to some media as “annoying.”
The forward is apparently on the move this summer, as he told reporters while he was on international duty with Belgium that Everton is not an option.
The last one. Romelu Lukaku: "Staying at Everton? (very quiet) That's not really an option, I think." That was quite clear.. #efc #cfc #mufc pic.twitter.com/w1Z49aefO3

He also added: “I know what’s happening. But I can’t tell you anything more. I know what’s happening, but I will leave the talks to my agent. The most important thing is I want to win trophies. We are now talking to the club.”
“As for the rest, I’m looking ahead. What I would like most is to play is in the Champions League and try to win the Premier League once. Or better, a few times. That would be the most beautiful thing.”
A Lukaku return to Chelsea is largely contingent on the Blues ability to sell Diego Costa, a situation that has recently become even more complicated than it was before.
