Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku has rejected a loan deal to West Ham United.
Lukaku was linked with a move to the Hammers, for a second year running, but has reportedly quashed the rumours linking him with a loan switch to Upton Park.
The big Belgian international was a target for Allardyce last summer, before moving to Everton, where he scored 17 goals for Roberto Martinez’ side.
Lukaku is set to leave Stamford Bridge in the coming weeks, with the striker seemingly out of Mourinho’s plans.
Atletico Madrid have enquired about Lukaku to the Blues, in a proposed swap deal with Diego Costa.
