Chelsea striker Lukaku turns down Spurs and Conte

Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku has turned down a move to Tottenham.

That's because he has his heart set on a return to Inter Milan.

Italian transfer expert Fabio Bergomi told Calciomercato.com that Lukaku is pushing hard for a second spell at the San Siro.

Lukaku netted 47 Serie A goals in just two seasons under Antonio Conte, winning the title last year.

Bergomi claims old boss Conte also wanted Lukaku for new side Spurs.

Chelsea's London rivals are strengthening their squad after returning to the Champions League.

Bergomi declared: “I won't be able to say everything because I can't, but on Lukaku there is total convergence.

“The news has been silenced, he only wants Inter, he doesn't want any other solution.

“I give you a total gem: he also rejected Conte's Tottenham. He wants Inter because he would be the leader.

“The formula that I learned today is that of the very high onerous loan, Chelsea want at least £17m of onerous loan."
