Chelsea plan to offer Romelu Lukaku in swap deal for former £70,000-per-week Chelsea star

Chelsea are eyeing up a potential swap deal for Romelu Lukaku with the former Chelsea striker. 
According to Calciomercato, Chelsea are potentially eyeing up a sensational swap deal consisting of Romelu Lukaku and Tammy Abraham. Recall both Romelu Lukaku and Tammy Abraham are Chelsea strikers in different ways. 
Lukaku had signed for Chelsea last season for a world record £97.5m deal. After turning out to be a horror-signing Lukaku was sent back to Inter Milan on loan. 
Abraham on the other hand, was signed by AS Roma on a permanent deal worth £34m back in 2021 on a five-year contract. Chelsea are believed to have a buy-back clause of £68m.

After a very good first season in Italy where he scored 27 goals in 53 appearances in all competitions, Abraham has fallen out of favour under Jose Mourinho this time around.

Seeing his record in Italy (notwithstanding the recent falling out of the favour), Chelsea are potentially looking to sign him back and they hope to do so by swapping him with Romelu Lukaku who is currently not in Chelsea or Inter-Milan's plans. 

To reduce the cost labelled in the buy-back clause, the Blues may offer Lukaku to Roma in a swap deal. This ploy could work because there is mutual respect between the Belgian and Roma boss Mourinho, having worked together in their stints at Manchester United.
Lukaku had worked with Mourinho in the past. 

Despite signing Aubameyang and David Fofana as striking options, Chelsea are currently in need of a striker and Abraham is top of the list in the Blues' considerations. Abraham has proved to be a worthy striking option in Chelsea, netting 15 goals in 34 league appearances in the 2019/20 season. 

With all the creative players behind him, the 25-year-old, having gained more experience in Italy, could be a shrewd signing for Chelsea.

Magical display and goal from Nicolas Jackson that shows he's Chelsea's next Didier Drogba.

Image
 Nicolas Jackson was on target for the Blues in their 4-1 trashing of Burnley yesterday.  Raheem Sterling takes the ball from midfield and turns around on his marker to leave him biting dust. Once in the final third he finds Cole Palmer in the box, who calmly lays it to Nicolas Jackson right in front of goal. The striker does very well in controlling the ball, adjusting his footing, and striking it for Chelsea’s fourth goal against Burnley. Comparisons have been made with Nicolas Jackson's stats for the Blues and that of Legend, Didier Drogba. Jackson's first goal for the club was a Drogba-esque one.  However, this performance and display from Jackson vs Burnley will convince you that he's just Chelsea's next hit striker after Didier Drogba: VIDEO: Chelsea may have just found their next Didier Drogba in Nicolas Jackson.

 Chelsea 'resume' negotiations for £55m Everton transfer after failed January move Chelsea transfer news: Everton's Amadou Onana was on the Blues' radar in January and his situation is reportedly being revisited. Chelsea have renewed their interest in Everton midfielder Amadou Onana, according to reports. The Blues were heavily linked with a move for the Belgian in January but a deal never came to fruition. Onana, who only signed for Everton last summer, was one of the Toffees' best players in the 2022/23 season and played a starring role in sustaining their Premier League status. After an impressive first half of the season in England, there was dialogue between Chelsea and the 21-year-old's entourage but he remained at Goodison Park and Enzo Fernandez was signed instead. Now, with Mauricio Pochettino seeking a new midfielder to bolster his squad ahead of next season, it has been reported that the Blues have revived their interest in the former Lille midfielder...
