Arsenal are hoping to hijack Chelsea’s attempts to sign Anderlecht star Romelu Lukaku, according to reports.
The teen starlet has been heavily linked with a move to West London this summer, but reports suggest the clubs were unable to agree a fee for the 18-year old.
According to reports in the Sun Arsenal have made a £14million bid for the player, after club officials meet with Lukaku’s agent on Friday.
The striker dubbed the “new Drogba” is touted as one of Europe’s most promising youngsters with Chelsea placing the forward top of their wish list this summer.
The striker himself admits it would be a “dream” to move to the Premiership with the Belgian outfit keen to cash in on Lukaku, the only question is, will gifted forward line up in North or West London next season.
