Awkward moment Sky Sports News broadcast interrupted by huge crash as presenter turns away to look

Transfer talk over Chelsea hitman Lukaku suffered a brief but unusual glitch

NAPOLI'S hopes of getting a smashing deal for Romelu Lukaku might just have received an odd but positive omen on live TV.

Speculation over the Chelsea striker's future was hotting up on Sky Sports News when a huge smash 'n crash interrupted proceedings.

One presenter instantly turned away to look as a massive, mysterious bang came from behind the studio glass.

However, the rest of the transfer debate carried on smoothly - without any explanation of the noise.

Lukaku, on the other hand, hasn't made any such din about his situation at Stamford Bridge.

Some might think that's in contrast with team-mate Raheem Sterling.

The English frontman's agent released a statement sharing Sterling's concern at his axing for Chelsea's first Premier League game of the season - Sunday's 2-0 loss against Manchester City.

But the future of Belgian hero Lukaku, 31, seems far closer to resolving.

Napoli have reportedly offered 30million euros  - nearly £26m - for the former Inter Milan and Roma loanee.

The formal bid for a season on loan is said to include an obligation to buy.

Why does Eddie Nketiah mime a ‘phone call’ when celebrating goals for Arsenal?

A Sky Sports presenter said: "Napoli want Romelu Lukaku but Napoli being Napoli they are going to want a loan plus an obligation or an option."

However, even if the ex-Manchester United man does move, it still leaves Chelsea with a bulging squad full of big-name fringe players.

Sterling, Atletico Madrid target Conor Gallagher and Ben Chilwell were among those omitted from the match-day party against City.
