ROMELU LUKAKU was mercilessly trolled after modelling Chelsea’s new pre-match kit which looks strikingly similar to his former club Inter Milan’s colours.
The Belgian landed himself in hot water last December after claiming he would ‘100 per cent still be at Inter’ if they’d offered him a new contract.
Lukaku also expressed his desire to play at Inter again riling Blues fans.
But in a sit down chat with the club’s media channel in the aftermath of his bombshell Sky Italia interview, the 28-year-old star said sorry unreservedly and has since helped Chelsea reach a Carabao Cup final.
But with the release of Chelsea’s new pre-match kit, fans are hoping the Inter Milan-inspired kit helps Lukaku feel at home and get him back among the goals again.
A Twitter user joked: “Chelsea have actually released an Inter Milan themed kit to keep Lukaku happy.”
Another quipped: “Chelsea’s new pre-match kit looks very INTEResting.
“Look at the smile on Lukaku’s face.”
