CHELSEA loanee Romelu Lukaku hinted at a stunning transfer that will happen "much sooner than people think".
Lukaku, 31, returned to Stamford Bridge three years ago following a then record £97.5million deal with Inter Milan but quickly fell out of favour and was sent back on loan to the San Siro only a year later.
The striker's future with the Blues is uncertain after returning from his most recent loan stint at Roma.
But the Belgium international is adamant he will return to Anderlecht one day.

And the ex-Manchester United star insists that comeback is not far away as he misses his family in Belgium.
Lukaku told RTL Sports: "Of course. That [a return to Anderlecht] will happen. That will happen, I think, much sooner than people think.
The interviewer asked back: "Much sooner?"
Lukaku responded: "Yes. I left Belgium at 18 years old."
The centre-forward was asked again: "Do you miss it? Do you miss Belgium?"
Lukaku replied: "My mother, my children..."
The Belgian star joined Anderlecht in 2006 when he was 13 years old and spent three years within the youth ranks.
The ex-Everton star made his senior debut in 2009 and amassed a total of 41 goals and 17 assists in 98 appearances.
The former West Brom ace left the Belgian giants in 2011 and moved to Chelsea for his first three-year stint with the club.
