\"Lukaku\"<\/p>\n

Romelu Lukaku has become the highest-paid player in the Premier League, following his \u00a398m move to Chelsea on Thursday, according to The Athletic.<\/p>\n

Once image rights and bonuses are taken into account, Lukaku will take home between \u00a3325,000 and \u00a3450,000-per-week.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old is now ahead of compatriot, Kevin De Bruyne, who recently signed a \u00a3385,000-per-week contract at Manchester City.<\/p>\n

However, De Bruyne\u2019s new team mate, Jack Grealish, is paid \u00a3380,000-per-week including bonuses.<\/p>\n

Lukaku, whose goals led Inter Milan to the Serie A title last season, was understood to have been happy to remain in Italy this season.<\/p>\n

However, Inter\u2019s financial predicament made Chelsea\u2019s \u00a398m bid an offer too good to refuse.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Lukaku is set to wear the No 18 shirt for Chelsea, the same number he was given when he first joined from Anderlecht almost 10 years ago.<\/p>\n
