Tottenham offer £20M for Chelsea striker Lukaku

Tottenham are willing to spend big to land Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku.

Spurs are willing to offer £20 million for the centre-forward.

The Daily Express says, however, he will turn down a move to Tottenham because he wants Champions League football.

Several clubs are known to be interested in Lukaku but reports suggest that Tottenham are the only club yet to make a firm offer over a possible permanent move.

It is thought Spurs have slapped a £20m offer on the table but Chelsea may be reluctant to sell to a rival.

Lukaku said: "I want to show what I can do and play in the Champions League with a big club.

"The decision will soon be taken. I have some ideas but we will have to see what is best for the clubs. I don't want to negotiate before the clubs have come to an agreement."
