As the Romelu Lukaku transfer saga rumbles on, the question remains how the striker's acquisition will impact Antonio Conte's plans for next season; a campaign fleshed out by a return to the Champions League.
Lukaku's mooted return to Stamford Bridge should, in theory, spell the end of Diego Costa's Chelsea career. The January transfer window saw Costa linked with a move to Chinese Super League side Tianjin Quanjian, who were reported to be offering a deal worth £30-million-a-year. However, the 28-year-old claimed recently he would rather sit out the remaining two years of his contract than move to China and if he were to be sold it would be to a European club, widely accepted to be former club Atletico Madrid.
