According to TuttoSport over in Italy, Tottenham Hotspur could look towards Romelu Lukaku if Harry Kane leaves Tottenham for Bayern Munich.
It has been reported for a little while that Bayern are admirers of Kane, and as the England captain enters the final two years of his contract, speculation is set to, once again, be rife about his future.
Kane seems happy at Spurs right now, but that hunger for trophies and success is still there, and after the saga of the summer of 2021, we can’t say with any real confidence that Kane will be staying at Spurs for the rest of his career.
Luckily, Tottenham have a plan in mind for if Kane leaves, and they could go for Lukaku.
Lukaku, of course, didn’t light up the Premier League during his last spell at Chelsea, but there’s reason to believe he could be a success at Spurs. After all, he was unbelievable during his time with Antonio Conte at Inter.
Lukaku loved working with the Italian at San Siro, going as far as to say he would die for his former manager.
What’s been said?
Lukaku shared just how much he loves Conte during his time at Inter.
“I would die for Conte,” Lukaku said.
“I wasn’t able to join him at Chelsea (in 2017), but I’d always said I’d played for him as soon as I left Manchester United. Conte told me very directly: ‘If you don’t work in training you won’t play, it’s essential that you know how to play with your back to goal. It’s important to meet people who tell you the absolute truth to help you improve.”
Chance to prove himself
Lukaku certainly has some unfinished business in the Premier League, and reuniting with Conte at Spurs would give him the chance to prove himself.
If any manager is going to get Lukaku firing in this league it’s Conte, and the player himself may jump at the chance to work under the Italian once again.
Of course, a lot of dominos need to fall for this to actually happen, but this may be a situation to keep an eye on.
