Lukaku completes Napoli move as Anjorin also moves on

By

Napoli have completed the £25m signing of Romelu Lukaku while Tino Anjorin has also left Chelsea, joining Empoli. 

Belgium striker Lukaku, 31, has spent the past two seasons on loan in Italy, first at Inter Milan and more recently at Roma.


He left Inter for a second spell at Chelsea, returning to Stamford Bridge during the summer of 2021 for a fee close to £100m.

Hopes were high that he could make a big impact for the Blues second time around, but he again flattered to deceive – and controversially made it clear he wanted to go back to Inter.

His sale could pave the way for Chelsea to sign a striker before the transfer window closes next week.

Anjorin, 22, has been with Chelsea since 2008 and made five first-team appearances for the club.
