Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to improve its forward position this summer. While at Inter Milan, manager Antonio Conte leaned on two strikers capable of racking up goals, so it comes as no surprise that he wants to do the same in north London.
Spurs are connected to a few candidates who can fill that role, including one who has experience playing for the Italian tactician. La Repubblica (via Sky Sports) reports Tottenham is interested in out-of-favor Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku to reunite him with Conte.
Lukaku has endured an unsuccessful return to Stamford Bridge as Chelsea’s club-record transfer and, after 12 months, could be on the way out. A return to Inter Milan has been ruled out, but a reunion with Conte, under whom he won Serie A with the Italian club, could occur.
The 28-year-old spent two seasons with Conte at Inter Milan, where he made 94 appearances while scoring 64 goals and registering 16 assists. A reunion with the 52-year-old could see Lukaku rediscover that form.
