Lazio fullback Lukaku wants Prem move after Newcastle collapse

Lazio fullback Jordan Lukaku is targeting a move to England this summer.

The Daily Mail says the younger brother of Inter Milan's former Manchester United, Chelsea and Everton striker Romelu, is weighing up a move to England as his club Lazio are willing to sell for around £5million.

With a number of Premier League sides looking to strengthen in that area, Lukaku's name has been discussed around the division with Lazio even willing to consider a loan deal for the Belgium international.

The 26-year-old saw a move to Newcastle fall through in January last year and a knee injury put his Lazio career on hold.

However, he battled back to fitness and used the lockdown period to his advantage.

Coach Simone Inzaghi used him in 11 of Lazio's last 12 fixtures as they mounted a serious challenge for the Serie A title and he has since been a regular in their pre-season build-up to underline his return to fitness.
