Lukaku’s Agent Already Spoke With Tottenham Over Summer Move

Chelsea have valued Romelu Lukaku at £25m, and Tottenham have shown interest, but the asking price will be difficult for Everton to meet in order to have the services of the Belgian.

The agent of Romelu Lukaku has admitted he has already held talks with Spurs over a summer move to White Hart Lane.

Spurs have placed Chelsea striker Lukaku at the top of their summer hit list.

Lukaku has spent the season on loan at Everton, scoring 13 goals in 26 games, but is set to be part of Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho’s clear-out of his forward players.

Chelsea value 20-year-old Lukaku at £25m, which will make it difficult for Everton to sign the Belgian permanently.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is prepared to fund a move for Lukaku and offer him a significant rise to his current £40,000-a-week wages.

Lukaku’s agent Christophe Henrotay, who confirmed the story said he’s open to discussion from other teams.

“I’m looking for a club for Romelu. And yes, I’ve talked to Daniel Levy once, but that doesn’t mean Romelu will definitely join Spurs. That’s not a talking point at this moment.

“There aren’t 20 teams that can afford to buy Romelu. He won’t go from Everton to, let’s say, Swansea. There’s also a difference between Everton that plays against relegation and an Everton that fights for European football.”
