Manchester City are upping the ante in the chase for Romelu Lukaku, by reportedly tabling a £18million bid for the Anderlecht forward.
Just days after Arsenal supposedly met with the teenager’s agent, City have now thrown their name in the hat along with Chelsea, who are the only other club believed to have made a concrete offer.
With Carlos Tevez and Emmanuel Adebayor set to leave Eastlands this summer, Roberto Mancini is already working on recruiting potential replacements, and Lukaku has been identified as a main target.
Inter Milan and newly-rich Paris Saint Germain are also in the hunt, but the 18-year-old’s next destination looks increasingly likely to be the Premier League considering the level of interest.
The striker though, remains unfazed by the attention surrounding him, and after scoring a hat-trick in Anderlecht’s recent friendly against FC Brussels, played down speculation surrounding his future.
‘I’m keeping a cool head,’ said Lukaku.
‘Normally I train and I play my game. If I thought too much or if I was holding back, it would be the best way to hurt me.’
