I'll tell you who'll fill them, the man Chelsea sold for £28 million just three years ago!

Despite being hugely successful at Everton and being adored by the supporters, Romelu Lukaku has never particularly shied away from the fact that he would jump ship if a Champions League club came calling. A move back to title holders Chelsea will therefore be an attractive move for big Romelu, especially given it won't take much settling for him. He departed so recently that the Chelsea canteen staff probably still remember how he takes his tea.

Stepping into the first choice centre forward role would certainly be a challenge for Lukaku though. Often accused of not being a one for the big occasion, this would be a great chance for him to silence those critics and if he bangs in the goals in Europe, he'll practically stitch their lips together.

Don't expect Everton to part with him easily though. Given he's improved since his arrival at Goodison Park and the fact that Chelsea demanded a high fee themselves, The Toffees will definitely play hardball. And you can bet your life that Roman Ambramovich does not say "kerching" to that.
