According to former Chelsea midfielder Craig Burley Conte should make a bid for Tottenham striker Harry Kane instead of trying to re-sign Romelu Lukaku from Everton.
The Belgium star has said in recently he has an agreement already with another Premier League club, with the Blues still heavily linked with his signature.
Everton will be demanding a massive transfer fee for whichever club attempts to buy him this summer, with a deal said to be around £80million.
However, Burley thinks his former side should go for Kane instead, who just won the Golden Boot last season with 29 goals, four more than second placed Lukaku.
“What are they saying the fee’s going to be? £80million?” he said on ESPN FC.
“If it was me, and I don’t think they would get them and they probably wouldn’t, but I would go with another £20million or £10million to Tottenham and say ‘give me a price for Harry Kane’.
“I’m never a fan of somebody going back to a club for a second time.
“Also the pressure playing for Everton and the pressure playing for a Chelsea or even a Liverpool, certainly of old, or Man United is a completely different mindset.
“You’re the top guy at Everton, you’re expected to be around sixth or seventh in the table, anything else is a bonus.
“That isn’t the case when you’re playing in London.”
