Two journalists rubbish suggestions that Spurs want to sign 30-year-old 

The Sun’s Tom Barclay and Football.London’s Alasdair Gold have denied reports suggesting that Tottenham Hotspur are looking to sign Romelu Lukaku.

As expected, since Harry Kane’s move to Bayern Munich, there has been plenty said and written about how Spurs will go about replacing the England captain.

One surprising name that has cropped up as a potential replacement for Kane is Lukaku, with reports from Italy over the last 48 hours claiming that Tottenham are exploring a move for the Chelsea man amidst Juventus’ inability to get a deal for the striker over the line (Calciomercato.it).

Alfredo Pedulla even asserted on Sunday that Spurs had already made contact with their London rivals over a deal for the Belgian.

Lukaku rumour rubbished by two Spurs journalists

Barclay has now taken to social media to categorically deny that Tottenham are considering making a move for Lukaku.

The reliable Alasdair Gold also insisted that there is no truth to reports of Spurs’ interest in the 30-year-old.

While Lukaku does possess some attributes that make him a good fit for Postecoglou’s system (his pressing and ability to run in-behind), there are question marks over whether the 30-year-old is technically good enough in possession to play the way the Australian wants his side to operate.
