Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou reportedly wants to sign Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku on loan this summer.
That’s according to Football Transfers, with the outlet claiming that Lukaku has emerged as a target for Spurs should Harry Kane depart.
Kane’s future has dominated the headlines over the past few weeks, with Bayern Munich attempting to land Tottenham’s all-time top goalscorer.
Sky Sports reports that Bayern remain around £20 million short of Kane’s valuation after representatives from both clubs held talks in London on Monday.
With Kane’s future up in the air, Spurs have been exploring their options should the England captain move on this summer.
And in what would be one of the most surprising moves of the summer, Romelu Lukaku is reportedly on Ange Postecoglou’s radar.
Postecoglou wants Lukaku.
Football Transfers reports that Postecoglou wants Spurs to sign Lukaku on loan if Kane leaves for Munich this summer.
The outlet notes Tottenham are willing to offer the Belgian striker around £300,000-per-week to make the switch across London.
Lukaku would join Spurs on a season-long loan deal with no option to buy and the outlet claims Postecoglou views Lukaku as the ideal fit for his side.
There have been some positive updates regarding Kane’s future today as The Evening Standard claim the 30-year-old could be willing to negotiate a new contract after the season begins.
But this would depend on Tottenham’s progress under Postecoglou.
As for Lukaku, the ‘world-class’ striker thrived at Inter Milan after leaving Manchester United back in 2019.
The 30-year-old returned to the Premier League with Chelsea just two years later, but his second spell at Stamford Bridge hasn’t gone according to plan.

It would be a huge surprise if Tottenham moved to replace Kane with Lukaku this summer.
The Chelsea striker has struggled over the past couple of years and doesn’t seem to be the right profile of striker for Postecoglou’s system.
Tottenham have also rarely done business with Chelsea over the years and it’s difficult to see that changing anytime soon.
