Stoke City are eyeing unsettled Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku.

Lukaku has declared he wants to move out on-loan next season.

Stoke have been linked with a move for Lukaku in the past and the Belgian is refusing to rule out any potential suitors.

He said: "Playing games is the most important thing for my career right now and for that reason it's better to look at other places.

"I leave all options open. I know that I am capable of playing for a top club in Europe, but perhaps it is better that I take one step backwards now so I can then take two forwards.

"My aim is to gain experience and then return to Chelsea. I need to put myself back in the picture so I can play with Belgian national side."
