Spurs have made signing the Blue’s striker their number one priority for next season, with chairman Daniel Levy keen to push ahead with the deal – even though they are likely to be without a manager by the time he arrives.
Chelsea are ready to listen to offers for the 20-year-old, who cost them a reported £20million, but does not seemingly feature in Jose Mourinho’s plans despite two impressive loan spells.
Levy wants to begin talks over Lukaku once the season ends next weekend, with a £15million bid set to go in.
The Blues will want more, with loan club Everton along with Atletico Madrid likely to show an interest, and Lukaku’s agent said this week that his client is facing an uncertain few months.
‘It’s all going to depend on Chelsea. We’ll see together what the best options are,’ said Christope Henrotay.
‘Chelsea need lots of great strikers. And if there are too many, they’ll choose to allow Romelu to leave.’Lukaku has bagged 15 goals in 32 matches for Everton this season.
