Napoli are reportedly close to finalising the signing of Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea.

As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Napoli directors will meet with Chelsea in London in the next 24 hours as they look to secure a deal.

Romano adds that all of the parties involved in the deal expect Lukaku to join Napoli.

Lukaku has two years left on his contract at Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea wanting a fee close to his release clause of £36million.

The 31-year-old has spent the past couple of seasons out on loan in Italy, firstly at Inter Milan and then at Roma.
