Tottenham 'hold exploratory talks around signing Chelsea flop Romelu Lukaku', per reports in Italy... despite Ange Postecoglou insisting his current priority is to trim down the club's bloated squad

Tottenham have reportedly held exploratory talks with Chelsea over the possibility of signing Romelu Lukaku.

The Italian has become something of a forgotten man at Stamford Bridge, despite arriving for a club-record £97.5million fee just two years ago.

Lukaku spent last season on loan at Inter Milan, and was expected to make a permanent departure before reports claiming he preferred a move to rivals Juventus failed to endear him to fans.

The 30-year-old has been training alone since returning to Chelsea with Mauricio Pochettino making it clear that he will not factor in the club plans for the current campaign.
