Stoke City to capture Chelsea forward Romelu Lukaku?

Stoke City have reportedly placed out-of-favour Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku on their summer transfer wishlist.

The 19-year-old has failed to break into the Blues' first team since his switch from Anderlecht last summer, claiming just one Premier League start.

It is understood that Stoke are keen to bring the Belgian frontman to the Britannia Stadium on a temporary deal, while West Ham United also wait in the wings, according to the Daily Star.

With Lukaku expected to be shipped out on loan next season, goalkeeper Thibault Courtois and Kevin de Bruyne could also be forced to seek loan moves.
