Tottenham have joined the battle for Anderlecht superkid Romelu Lukaku.

Real Madrid, Chelsea, Arsenal and Inter Milan are all keeping tabs on the powerful 17-year-old striker.

But Tottenham are believed to have sounded out the Belgian club to try and make the first move for the Belgian international who is being compared to Didier Drogba.

Anderlecht are already putting him in the £20m bracket and Real Madrid are going all out to sign him with Jose Mourinho becoming involved personally after turning Drogba into one of the best strikers in the world at Chelsea.

Lukaku's agent Christophe Henrotay said: "Many clubs are interested and the decision is not easy. It's necessary to find the best option and that's not just about the financial issue."
