The Blues signed two high-profile forwards in the summer window prior to Thomas Tuchel’s sacking, with Raheem Sterling and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang joining from Manchester City and Barcelona.But Calciomercatoweb claim the German’s successor is keen on adding another forward in 2023, and ‘really likes’ Tottenham and England forward Harry Kane.According to reports in Italy, Chelsea boss Graham Potter is keen on making a sensational move for Kane next summer. And that’s not all – the report adds that the 47-year-old is willing to offer Romelu Lukaku in order for the deal to be done.Chelsea manager Graham Potter wants to make a move for Tottenham striker Harry Kane, and is ready to offer Romelu Lukaku, currently on loan at Inter Milan, in exchange.

The 29-year-old is currently out on loan at Inter Milan this season after an ill-fated return to the Premier League in 2021-22.However, as everyone would guess, the same outlet suggests there are a couple of stumbling blocks – the first being that Kane is seen as an ‘immovable symbol’ of Conte’s side.Reasons ‘against’ continue with the fact that Chelsea and Tottenham share a London rivalry, and quite a fiery one, and it would take a lot for the Spurs’ captain – whose contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium expires in 2024 – to become one of the Blues.The England skipper was also a target for Bayern Munich in the summer as a replacement for Robert Lewandowski, and reports earlier this month suggested the Bundesliga giants told him to hold off signing a new deal at Spurs.##NAJAVA_MECA_6660739##Back to Lukaku. The report adds the move could also be scuppered if Serie A giants Inter agree a deal with Chelsea before the summer to make the Belgian’s move to San Siro permanent.Lukaku’s return to Inter this summer on loan came after an unexpectedly poor return to former club Chelsea in which he managed only 13 goals in 42 games in all competitions, having arrived for a club-record fee of 112 million euros in August 2021. Same media outlets claim only reluctance on Lukaku’s part will prevent him from extending his stay in Milan, but that any permanent move will depend on how he performs during the rest of his loan spell.The 29-year-old has scored one goal in three appearances for Simone Inzaghi’s men this season, but has missed their last six games with a thigh strain.Despite scoring three in his first four games. Lukaku then went goalless in the Premier League until December where he scored in successive games before another barren patch that lasted until May. Potter’s spell in charge at Stamford Bridge got off to a frustrating start too last week, with a Blues side lacking cutting edge held to a 1-1 draw by RB Salzburg in the Champions League. ##NAJAVA_MECA_6660754##
