LEAKED: Romelu Lukaku shirt number at Chelsea finally revealed
It looks like we will be getting the final confirmation of Romelu Lukaku’s return to Chelsea any hour now.
The Inter Milan striker arrived in Monaco late last night for meetings with his agent before setting off to London today to complete any final stages of his move to Chelsea.
Many believed he could have been announced last night, but that wasn’t the case, but we do expect it to be any time now.
Lukaku deal announcement won’t be tonight but it’s matter of days. Romelu will fly to London after Monaco step to complete paperworks into his agent headquarters. No problem – it’s 100% done. ?? #CFC
No agreement with Atalanta for Abraham – AS Roma and Arsenal are in the race.

Tammy Abraham is the one largely expected to be leaving to make room for Lukaku, and reports of an agreement with Roma surfaced late last night. Not a done deal though and it looks like Abraham has a big decision to make there.
ICYMI: Chelsea have agreed a deal with Roma to loan Tammy Abraham with a 40m euros obligation to buy.

One situation that will occur if Abraham leaves is the freeing up of the number 9 shirt, and The Telegraph believe him leaving will pave the way for Lukaku to take the number 9 at Chelsea, and you feel this will be highly likely.
