Hamburg chief Frank Arnesen is chasing Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku.

The Daily Mail says Arnesen flies in to London on Tuesday hoping that Chelsea will let him sign Romelu Lukaku on loan.

Chelsea are prepared to farm out their £18million striker to another club next season but would prefer to keep him in the Barclays Premier League, a stance that has alerted Fulham, Bolton and Everton.

But Arnesen, former director of football at Stamford Bridge, is hoping he can take the 18-year-old to the Bundesliga on a season-long loan.
