(CNN) Chelsea has completed the signing of Belgium star Romelu Lukaku from Inter Milan on a five-year deal in a move that reunites the striker with his former club. The reported fee would make the 28-year-old the second most expensive player in the history of British football -- behind only England star Jack Grealish, who joined Manchester City last week for a reported fee of £100 million ($139 million). Lukaku becomes Chelsea's club record signing, surpassing the £71.6 million ($91 million) fee the club paid to acquire the services of Spanish goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from Athletic Bilbao in 2018. "I'm happy and blessed to be back at this wonderful club," Lukaku said in a club statement. Chelsea begins the new Premier League season at home to Crystal Palace on Saturday.
