Borussia Dortmund join Lukaku chase

German giants Borussia Dortmund are ready to battle it out with a whole host of clubs for the signature of Everton striker Romelu Lukaku.

The Belgian international has been the subject of speculation in recent weeks after he admitted his desire to ply his trade in the Champions League.

Real Madrid and Manchester United have been recently credited with interest for the 22-year-old, but according to The Liverpool Echo, BVB are the latest to enter the pursuit of the highly-rated marksman.

The report adds that BVB have earmarked Lukaku as an ideal replacement for Gabon star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who has been associated with a Westfalenstadion exit.

Roberto Martinez's side are said to be reluctant to offload their prized asset unless any club matches their hefty £60m valuation.
