Chelsea are looking for alternatives to Diego Costa, and an array of names have been dished about by the Chelsea supporting punters here inside the Football Transfer Tavern.

The Spaniard has effectively been shown the door this summer after Blues boss Antonio Conte told him he should find a new club.

It appears the main Chelsea target is ex-Chelsea player, Romelu Lukaku.

The 24-year-old is expected to leave Everton this summer in search of Champions League football.

It appears the man Chelsea signed from Anderlecht six years ago as the long-term replacement for Didier Drogba could finally fulfil his destiny, with a £100m fee being touted.

The Belgian cost the the Toffees £28m, but Lukaku’s form at Everton is suggested to have more than trebled his transfer fee.

But is £100m really worth it? We’ve been debating players who could do a similar job for the Blues and would likely cost less.

Take a look at the TWO forwards who would be better for Chelsea than £100 million Romelu Lukaku…..

Robert Lewandowski

The Bayern Munich striker is one of the best around and the Blues are reportedly interested.

Lewandowksi netted a stunning 30 times in 33 Bundesliga fixtures last season as he helped Bayern become champions for the fifth time in succession.

The German giants will surely be reluctant to sell their top scorer, but Lewandowski could force through a transfer to Stamford Bridge.

Andrea Belotti

The Torino striker needs to be on Antonio Conte’s radar after an excellent season in Serie A.

Belotti bagged a impressive 26 goals in 34 games in Italy’s top division, dragging his side to a respectable 9th place finish.

Belotti had been suggested to be a target of Arsenal by our landlord earlier in the year, though it’s all gone quiet over there.

With Torino demanding £85m, his price-tag is barely a stumbling block on Lukaku’s reported £100m fee.
