Premier League's 10 worst ever signings as Romelu Lukaku ends £97m Chelsea nightmare

Inter Milan announced that they had re-signed striker Romelu Lukaku on a season-long loan this week, approximately a year after selling him to Chelsea for £97.5million.

Expectations were high for the Belgian when he arrived, and many saw the former Manchester United forward as the final piece of the puzzle for Thomas Tuchel – whose team had all of the creative threats but no out and out no.9 to convert opportunities.

But Lukaku struggled too. Given his price tag, reputation and overall disappointment of last season, many consider Lukaku one of the worst signings in Premier League history.

But where does he sit in top ten…? French midfielder Paul Pogba returned to Manchester United in 2016 as one of the most exciting young talents in world football and looked like he would become a hero at Old Trafford.
