# Exclusive: Paul Stewart says Romelu Lukaku would guarantee Manchester City goals

**Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku guarantees goals, says former Manchester City player Paul Stewart.**

The Premier League champions are in the market for a new No.9 following Sergio Aguero’s departure and have launched a £100m bid for Tottenham’s Harry Kane, according to [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/12337836/harry-kane-man-city-make-100m-transfer-bid-for-tottenham-striker).

However, they have also [shown interest in Lukaku](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11860/12323502/romelu-lukaku-says-he-will-be-staying-at-inter-milan-despite-premier-league-transfer-interest) after a season where the 28-year-old managed to score [30](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/romelu-lukaku/leistungsdaten/spieler/96341/plus/0?saison=2020) goals in all competitions.

Ultimately, for Stewart, Lukaku is a player who would definitely bring goals to the Etihad, though he feels Kane should remain the priority.

*“Lukaku is guaranteed goals,”* the ex-City star told **TT** when asked if he could see his old side making a move for the Belgium international this summer.

*“He’s done it in the Prem. Alright, he didn’t have the best spell at United, but United were going through a spell where it wasn’t just Lukaku, it was the club. He’s proven it now at the Euros that he’s still a more than capable striker. But I think I’d \[rather\] spend £100m on Harry.”*

If City cannot get Kane this summer, when you look at his goal record, Lukaku would obviously be a great alternative.

However, like the England captain, it is going to be hard to get him out of his club. The former Manchester United man has already stated that he [plans on staying at Inter](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11860/12323502/romelu-lukaku-says-he-will-be-staying-at-inter-milan-despite-premier-league-transfer-interest).
