Tuchel comments on Zouma's Chelsea future amid West Ham links
Romelu Lukaku has told Inter Milan to accept a 'suitable' offer for his services from Chelsea this summer, according to reports. The Blues are preparing a third bid to re-sign the 28-year-old striker after being pushed back twice already in the current transfer window.
According to Sky Sports, Lukaku has requested that Inter allow him to complete a return to Chelsea if the club's third offer is reasonable.
Chelsea's latest bid was worth £85million plus left-back Marcos Alonso, but the Serie A champions have been holding out a higher fee for their star man.
Sky Sports report an offer of between £94m and £102m should convince Inter chairman Steven Zhang to let his most prized asset leave.
The Blues are determined to provide Thomas Tuchel with a new world-class striker after his sensational start to life as manager.

Lukaku joined Chelsea from Anderlecht as a teenager in 2011 but failed to score a single goal in 15 appearances across three years.
He moved to Everton for £28m in 2014 following an impressive loan spell at West Bromwich Albion.
After a successful stint at Goodison Park, scoring 86 goals in 164 games, Lukaku almost returned to Chelsea in 2017.
However, he opted for a £75m move to Manchester United, where he scored 42 goals in 96 games before joining Inter two years later.
