Eurosport Paper Round: £65m Romelu Lukaku set to leave Everton, Tottenham's £20m bid for Callum Wilson
Romelu Lukaku is set to leave Everton before the beginning of Euro 2016, with a range of elite clubs interested in the 23-year-old according to the Daily Mail. Manchester United,
Chelsea, PSG and Juventus will all battle it out for the services of
the Belgium international, as his father Rodger Lukaku confirmed
a fee
of £65 million is the set price tag. The report says despite the
interest of the four, Juventus are unlikely to meet the valuation.
Lukaku netted 25 goals this season and is under contract with Everton
until 2019.
Spurs have targeted Bournemouth's Callum Wilson with a £20m bid
in mind, according to the Daily Mail. Tottenham will be looking to give Harry Kane
some relief next season, and will look to Bournemouth's Wilson as a
potential line leader for the North London club. The report says that as
Bournemouth are interested in the services of Spurs' Ryan Mason, that
could engineer a starting point for any deal between the two clubs.
Wilson had scored five goals from his first seven appearances before a
cruciate ligament injury in September sidelined him for most of the
season. The deal may also become more complicated, as both West Ham and
Everton are interested in Wilson's services.
Lacazette turns down Hammers as they move for Benteke
After being turned down by Alexandre Lacazette, West Ham have targeted Liverpool's Christian Benteke on a loan deal according to the Sun. As West Ham's £31m bid for Lyon's
Lacazette and Marseille's Michy Batshuayi seems to have failed, the
London club have turned their attention to Liverpool's Benteke.
According to the report, a big sticking point for the club is that
Benteke's wages are more than £120,000 a week. The Hammers want
Liverpool to subsidise part of his pay to help secure Benteke on a loan
deal.
