Chelsea and Lukaku agreement, Sarri eyes reunion, Zouma rejects West Ham

Thomas Tuchel has been searching for a new striker to replace Timo Werner, who has failed to impress since his move from RB Leipzig last summer.

Chelsea initially pursued Borussia Dortmund's superstar Erling Haaland.

However, after Haaland looks set to stay in Germany, Tuchel has turned his attention to Inter Milan's Romelu Lukaku.

Chelsea have had a quiet transfer window so far, and as a result, the Blues have only made one signing this window – Marcus Bettinelli, a goalkeeper from Fulham.

And Daily Star Sport have rounded up all the day's transfer dealings from Stamford Bridge.

Lukaku 'agrees personal terms'

Lukaku's goals helped Inter to their first scudetto triumph in a decade last season as Inter pipped Juventus to the post.

However, Lukaku could be open to a return to his former side as Inter's financial crisis continues, and boss Antonio Conte left as a result of budgeting issues.

And, according to the Independent, Lukaku has agreed personal terms with the blues.

Lazio reunion for Hudson-Odoi

Former Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has explored the possibility of signing his former player Callum Hudson-Odoi for Serie A side Lazio, according to Calciomercato.

Hudson-Odoi was tipped for great things under Sarri, however, since the Italian left, he has struggled for first-team action at Stamford Bridge.

The most likely option could see Hudson-Odoi join the Italian side on loan next season.

Kurt Zouma has rejected a move to fellow London side West Ham, according to The Guardian.

Zouma is one of a dozen Chelsea players whose time at the Blues could be coming to end this summer as Tuchel looks to raise funds for a move for Lukaku.

And Zouma potentially staying also complicates a proposed deal for Sevilla's Jules Kounde.
