Chelsea boss Graham Potter wants to make a sensational move for Harry Kane say reports in Italy… with Blues ‘prepared to offer Romelu Lukaku a reunion with Antonio Conte in exchange for Tottenham forward’
- Chelsea signed Raheem Sterling and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in summer
- Thomas Tuchel’s successor now wants to add another forward in Harry Kane
- Graham Potter’s first game in charge saw a lack of cutting edge from his side
- Harry Kane seen as ‘immovable’ at Spurs and has a contract running until 2024
Chelsea boss Graham Potter is keen on making a sensational move for Harry Kane next summer, according to reports in Italy.
The Blues signed two high-profile forwards in the summer window prior to Thomas Tuchel’s sacking, with Raheem Sterling and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang joining from Manchester City and Barcelona.
But Calciomercatoweb claim the German’s successor is keen on adding another forward in 2023, and ‘really likes’ Tottenham and England forward Kane.

The report adds Potter is willing to offer Romelu Lukaku – who is out on loan at Inter Milan this season after an ill-fated return to the Premier League in 2021-22 – in exchange to secure the Three Lions captain’s services.
Such an astonishing move would see the Belgian forward reunite with Antonio Conte, with the pair playing a huge part in Inter Milan winning the Serie A title in 2020-21.
However, the same outlet suggests there are a couple of stumbling blocks, with the first being that Kane – whose contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium expires in 2024 – is seen as an ‘immovable symbol’ of Conte’s side.
Moreover, the report adds the move could also be scuppered if Serie A giants Inter agree a deal with Chelsea before the summer to make the Belgian’s move to San Siro permanent.

They claim only reluctance on Lukaku’s part will prevent him from extending his stay in Milan, but that any permanent move will depend on how he performs during the rest of his loan spell.
