The striker returned for a second spell at Stamford Bridge after seven years this summer and has some unfinished business.

Romelu Lukaku already feels home at Chelsea and “doesn’t feel like he’s coming into a new team.”

Lukaku joined Chelsea on a blockbuster £97.5 million move last week after earning a reputation as one of the world’s finest finishers.

He has been handed the No. 9 shirt vacated by Tammy Abraham, who transfered to AS Roma.

The Belgium international was unavailable for the Premier League opener against Crystal Palace but is expected to make his debut at the weekend against Arsenal.

“It feels great to be back,” Lukaku said at his official unveiling press conference. “It doesn’t feel like I’m coming into a new team because I’ve been here before and I know a few of the players from before.

“I’m really happy to be here and it’s a good feeling to be joining the European champions. The guys are hungry for more and they want to keep winning.

“In training yesterday, I could see there was a really good intensity and everyone looked sharp.

“Now I have the chance to join a team that’s very hungry and very ambitious. I can’t wait to add something to this group and I’m excited to get started.”
