Tottenham are on the hunt for a replacement for record scorer Harry Kane and Dimitar Berbatov reckons Chelsea’s Romelu Lukaku could be the answer for his former club
Ex-Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov believes that his former club should consider Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku as a replacement for Harry Kane.
There has been ongoing speculation surrounding Lukaku’s future at Stamford Bridge, with interest from Juventus and other clubs. Despite being deemed surplus to requirements by Mauricio Pochettino, who didn’t assign Lukaku a shirt number for the new season, the Belgium international remains a Chelsea player.
Kane has already made his debut for Bayern Munich after being signed by the Bundesliga champions in a deal that could reach £120million with add-ons. The deal means that Tottenham have funds available to secure a successor to their record goalscorer.
Lukaku spent last season on loan at Inter Milan, where he scored 14 goals in 37 appearances. He returned to Chelsea this summer but has no long-term future at the club. Inter don’t want him back after he flirted with bitter rivals Juventus and sought to secure a move to Turin.
