According to the Mirror, Chelsea have been beaten to the signing of Romelu Lukaku by Manchester United.
The report claims that Lukaku has flown out to LA to undergo a medical tonight as he closes in on his move to Manchester United.
Chelsea were keen to sign the striker but Manchester United have beaten them to his signature.
A major factor in the deal is said to be his relationship with United midfielder Paul Pogba, who convinced him to sign for the Red Devils.
United have agreed a £75m deal with Everton and have offered Lukaku £200k-per-week, which he is set to sign later this week.
The deal will make Lukaku Everton’s record sale and will help them earn back a lot of the money they have spent this summer on new signings.
Everton have brought in Henry Onyekuru, Michael Keane, Jordan Pickford, Sandro Ramirez and Davy Klaassen this summer.
Chelsea could now look to sign Real Madrid forward Alvaro Morata instead.
