ROMELU LUKAKU feels "happy and blessed" after Chelsea confirmed his £97.5million return from Inter Milan on a five-year contract.
The Belgium star is the world-class striker that Blues boss Thomas Tuchel has been desperate to add to his Champions League winners all summer.
The former Manchester United and Everton ace, 28, has had two sensational seasons with Inter, helping them win Serie A for the first time in a decade last term.
And having left the Bridge seven years ago, Lukaku says it's an "amazing feeling" to be back.
He told : "I’m happy and blessed to be back at this wonderful club.
"It’s been a long journey for me. I came here as a kid who had a lot to learn, now I’m coming back with a lot of experience and more mature.
"The relationship I have with this club means so much to me, as you know.
"I have supported Chelsea as a kid and now to be back and try to help them win more titles is an amazing feeling.";
