Ian Wright believes it is time for Romelu Lukaku to return to Chelsea.

The Everton striker continues to be linked with his former club after leaving Stamford Bridge for Goodison Park in 2014.

Lukaku has emerged as one of the best strikers in the Premier League and according to Wright, the 23-year-old Belgian could do much worse than head back to West London and complete some unfinished business.

“If I was him I'd actually get in my car and phone the manager on the way down to London! I'm off," he told The Sun's podcast.

“I wouldn't even lock the door.

“This is going to rumble on and if he has to make that decision, he'll probably leave."

But the former Arsenal star also suggested that Everton is not the worst place for the league's leading goalscorer to stick around.

“As soon as they can quell that talk, he's settled and everyone else will be settled," he added.

“There are massive things happening at Everton with the new ownership and money coming in so it's a very exciting place to be right now."
