EVERTON star Romelu Lukaku has fuelled speculation of a return to Chelsea after he was spotted hugging Blues chief Michael Emenalo after Sunday’s game at Goodison Park.
The Belgian striker is expected to leave Everton after snubbing a new contract offer earlier this season.
And many believe Lukaku will rejoin beloved club Chelsea, who are willing to pay upwards of £60million.
SunSport exclusively revealed the ace is even ready to snub Manchester United in order to return to Stamford Bridge as Diego Costa’s replacement.
And it appears the wheels have already been set in motion after Lukaku was filmed talking to Emenalo in the tunnel after Chelsea’ 3-0 win on Merseyside.
The pair seemed at ease in each other’s company, with plenty of smiles shared before they hugged each other.
Emenalo is credited as the man who identified and brought Lukaku to Chelsea in 2011 when the player was still a teenager.

Antonio Conte is also happy to have the targetman in his squad for next season but would like to bring in Real Madrid ace Alvaro Morata as well.
