Romelu Lukaku says he is not thinking about the prospect of leaving Everton in order to return to Chelsea.
According to a report from Football London, Lukaku says he’s focused on succeeding with Everton for at least the remainder of the season.
Lukaku was a summer target for the Blues but were priced out of a deal with Everton demanding too much for the club’s former striker.
I’m just focused on the season. I’m not really thinking anything about it [Chelsea]. I’m focused with this team. Whatever you guys write, you guys write. For me I’m not thinking about it.
The Belgian forward has been linked with a dramatic return to Stamford Bridge with Diego Costa’s long-term future up in the air.
Costa will reportedly leave Chelsea in the summer after a row with Antonio Conte and his coaching stuff.
Lukaku joined Everton permanently back in 2014 for £28 million but you could expect the Toffees to ask for at least double that to part ways with him now.
