Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku has been linked with a surprise to a Premier League rival after falling down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge.
Lukaku re-joined the Blues from Inter Milan at the start of the current campaign in a deal reportedly worth €113million, which is a club record.
However, the Belgian's time in the English capital has not gone to plan after netting just five goals in 20 Premier League for the Blues are now competing for third spot and a FA Cup. To make matters worse, Lukaku was also heavily criticised for giving an interview to Sky Italy where he expressed his unhappiness and the way coach Thomas Tuchel plays.
According to La Repubblica, Belgium's all-time leading scorer remains a target for London rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Antonio Conte.
Lukaku enjoyed one of his best seasons under Conte at Inter Milan last term, as his 24 goals and 10 assists helped Inter clinch their first Serie A title since 2010.
The report adds that a possible return to Inter has already been discussed but a reunion with Conte could help sway the striker's decision next season.
