Conte targets Chelsea return for Everton striker Romelu Lukaku

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is targeting a return for Everton striker Romelu Lukaku.

The Sun says they are set to revive their interest in Lukaku, if Diego Costa leaves next summer.

Lukaku who left Stamford Bridge in 2014 due to a lack of first opportunities under former boss Jose Mourinho is on a list potential replacements if Costa does depart at the end of the season.

Conte tried to bring Lukaku back to Stamford Bridge last summer as the Belgian striker claimed he had “unfinished business" at the club.

Lukaku has scored 18 goals for the Toffees this season is close to signing a new deal at Goodison Park, and according to his agent Mino Raiola, regardless of a new deal being signed, the striker could still leave Merseyside in the summer.
