Everton have signed Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku for a club-record fee of £28m. 

The Belgian international, who spent last season on loan at Goodison Park and was their leading scorer with 16 goals in 33 appearances, helping them to a fifth-placed finish in the process, has agreed to a five-year contract.

Reports of the move began emerging in the 21-year-old's homeland earlier on Wednesday and the striker tweeted a picture of himself on a plane with the message "Time to write a new chapter.....".

Lukaku was manager Roberto Martinez's primary summer transfer target and while the fee may have blown their previous record (£15m to Standard Liege for Marouane Fellaini in 2008), the Toffees boss believes the striker's age and potential mean it was worth paying.
