Romelu Lukaku has vowed to "send a message soon" as he flies to London to complete his move from Inter to Chelsea.
The Belgian is closing in on a sensational return to Chelsea, seven years after leaving for Everton, in what would be a club-record £97.5million deal.
Lukaku completed a medical in Milan before flying to London on Monday evening.
Official confirmation of the move could come on Tuesday, with Chelsea in Belfast on Wednesday for their Uefa Super Cup showdown with Villarreal at Windsor Park.
Speaking at the airport, Lukaku told Sky Italia: "I’m gonna send a message [to Inter fans] soon."
