๏ปฟSpurs are allegedly “weighing a move for Romelu Lukaku,” but they are only considering a loan deal for him.
Despite joining Stamford Bridge just two years ago for a then-club record ยฃ97.5 million, the Belgian has all but disappeared from memory.
Lukaku failed to win over fans by apparently choosing a transfer to Inter Milan’s rivals, Juventus, after spending the previous year on loan with the club, where it was widely anticipated that he would make a permanent departure.
Lukaku has been working separately since his return to Chelsea since Mauricio Pochettino has made it clear that the team will not be using him this year.
However, there have been rumors coming out of Italy that the Belgian striker might actually play in the Premier League this season.
According to Tutto Mercato, Daniel Levy is unwilling to negotiate a permanent fee for an established player, hence Tottenham is reportedly considering a loan for the 30-year-old striker.
The source claims that because of his relative youth, Arsenal’s Folarin Balogun would be their preferred pick to start in the front position, but Monaco is more likely to sign him.
After months of uncertainty regarding his future with the team, longtime Spurs legend Harry Kane ultimately departed North London earlier this month to sign with Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich.
Despite common perception that Spurs will attempt to swiftly spend the wealth garnered by Kane’s departure into a like-for-like successor, Ange Postecoglou stressed that getting rid of the deadwood on his team is still his primary priority.
Before Saturday’s victory over Manchester United, Postecoglou said, “We can’t just keep acquiring players when we’ve got a too big a squad as it is at the moment.”
They want to participate and play, therefore it affects both the players’ preparation and their own performance. The team’s size is currently our main concern, and we’ll follow that focus to see where it leads us in terms of more reinforcements.
We are monitoring it every day, and there are still two weeks remaining in the window. I promise there will be changes.
