Tottenham Hotspur hold talks with Chelsea over striker

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly held talks with Chelsea over the potential transfer of Romelu Lukaku this summer.

The Belgium international has been linked with Juventus for the past few weeks, but the Bianconeri don't have the funds.

Their move depends on Dusan Vlahovic heading for the exit door, but there are no lucrative offers on the table for the Serbian.

Hence, Lukaku may have to look elsewhere to resurrect his career and reports claim that Spurs have enquired over his availability.

While the Belgian prefers a return to the Italian top-flight, he could be tempted to consider a move across London in the coming days.

The north London giants are looking for a marquee striker in the transfer market following the sale of Harry Kane to Bayern Munich.

They have been linked with Kolo Muani recently, but the Frenchman has agreed terms with Paris Saint-Germain ahead of a transfer.

Lukaku has been identified as the fall-back option for Spurs, who are aiming to finish in the Premier League top four this season.
