Aston Villa have "shown interest" in signing
Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku, according to a report in
Spain. The 29-year-old is currently on loan at Serie A side Inter Milan, where he has scored three goals in 15 league appearances this season. He moved there on loan from Chelsea last summer, for a £6.9 million loan fee and reported wage cut. Lukaku has scored 271 goals in 571 career games, and has ups and downs in terms of form, whether that be in the
Premier League otherwise. As well as Chelsea, the striker has played for West Brom, Everton and
Manchester United in
England. READ MORE: Harry Redknapp names ‘vital’ Aston Villa quartet and makes ‘top’ prediction READ MORE: Aston Villa make Pedro Goncalves transfer 'decision' after

They note that Villa "may not have the money" to make a move for Lukaku, who Chelsea are reportedly looking to sell permanently this summer. But with the club's owners and Emery both showing their clear ambition, nothing can be ruled out? It's the second time Lukaku has been linked with Villa in recent days, with the club already receiving a response about a potential transfer. Do you think a move for Lukaku is realistic?
