Starsport understands top Blues target Romelu Lukaku is set to sign for Manchester United in the coming days.

Personal terms have been agreed and an announcement could be made in 24 hours.

Lukaku, 24, will cost the Red Devils £75m this summer.

With Jose Mourinho set to land the Everton star, United have ended their interest in Real Madrid striker Morata.

And the bookies now reckon the Spain international is heading to Chelsea.

Ladbrokes say the Blues are favourites to land Morata at 6/4 favourites.

Romelu Lukaku: Man Utd’s possible starting XI next season with £75m striker

Morata wanted to join the Red Devils this summer but a fee could not be agreed between the sides.

The striker is a fan of Antonio Conte, the manager who signed him for his spell at Juventus.

However, the pair didn't get to work together as Conte took the Italy job before the start of the season.

The Chelsea boss wants to splash the cash this summer with Champions League football returning next campaign.
