Chelsea: Romelu Lukaku reveals he advised Kai Havertz to join Blues a year ago

Romelu Lukaku admits he cannot wait to link up with Kai Havertz in Chelsea's frontline after sealing his £98million return to Stamford Bridge - and revealed he tried to convince the German to sign for the Blues over a year ago.

Lukaku is ready to be unleashed against Arsenal in his second debut on Sunday - ten years since he first joined the club - and fans are already anticipating his arrival and the possibility of a partnership with Havertz, and the 28-year-old admits he has been an admirer of the forward.
