Chelsea owner Todd Boehly shows his power in transfer market by finalising first deal

Todd Boehly has already proved he has great power in the transfer market, as his relationship with Roc Nation has contributed to Romelu Lukaku 's return to Inter Milan.

Despite only re-signing for Chelsea last summer, The Blues have reached an agreement with Inter that will see Lukaku return to the Serie A side on loan. Inter will pay a fee of £6.87million plus add-ons, with salary and performance bonuses also accepted.

Lukaku has been linked with an exit ever since he delivered a brutal interview with Sky Italia in December, stating how he would like to return to Inter after questioning Thomas Tuchel's tactics. But it appears that Chelsea's new owners were already close with Lukaku's representatives, helping a deal get over the line.
