Eden Hazard has dropped a big hint that his Belgian team-mate Romelu Lukaku could be on his way to Chelsea this summer.
Speaking to Belgian outlet, HNB, Hazard was being quizzed on whether or not he would be signing a new deal at Stamford Bridge in the immediate future, his response, albeit a joke, hints that he may know something about Chelsea’s summer transfer plans.

The Everton striker has been linked with a return to Stamford Bridge this summer after enjoying another successful campaign with the Toffees.
If Chelsea do with to bring back their former striker, any bid will seemingly have to eclipse the £50 million club record fee that they spent on Fernando Torres.
Lukaku scored 25 league goals this season, five more than Diego Costa, who’s future is still undecided.
The pair are believed to be close friends off the pitch and played together briefly during Lukaku’s first spell at the club.
