Chelsea are ready to focus on re-signing Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku this summer.

The Daily Mail says Chelsea are ready to re-sign Lukaku this summer as Thomas Tuchel plots a Premier League title challenge.

The Blues want a new centre forward ahead of next season — with the Inter Milan hitman viewed as the most realistic target by club recruitment staff.

The newly-crowned European champions have built a formidable defensive record under Tuchel but have scored more than two goals in a game just once in 30 matches under the German.

Despite scoring 33 goals in helping Inter win Serie A last season, the Italian club will listen to offers for Lukaku as they seek to ease financial concerns.

Having signed for Chelsea as an 18-year-old in 2011, Lukaku made just one Premier League start for the club before successful loan spells at West Bromwich Albion and Everton, who he joined for £28 million in 2014.

Lukaku is now viewed as one of Europe's premier centre forwards and, at 28, is entering his prime. Inter are understood to value Lukaku at £100m but Chelsea will be keen to negotiate a lower price given Inter's need to sell.
