Everton striker Romelu Lukaku has revealed he has reached an agreement with an unnamed club over a transfer, but refused to say which team he will join this summer.

Lukaku has been linked with a return to former club Chelsea in recent months after scoring 25 Premier League goals for the Toffees last season.

Blues coach Antonio Conte has made the Belgium international his first-choice striker target this summer as the Italian looks to strengthen his attacking options ahead of Chelsea's return to the Champions League next term.

Lukaku admitted after Belgium's 2-1 friendly win over the Czech Republic on Monday night that he had begun talks with a club over a potential move, and hinted it was a team who will compete for the Premier League and Champions League trophies next season.

But the 24-year-old has now gone on to say there is an agreement in place with his new club, although he avoided naming his next team.

"My agent knows what is going to happen and I know as well," Lukaku told Sky Sports News.

"I'm staying calm and we have an agreement with the club as well. We stay calm and at least we have a direction where we want to go.

"I'm just going to rest for a few days and then just prepare for next season. I want to put the time in on my holiday to take everything to another level and be better than I was last year."
