Many sources said that at that time, Anderlecht valued their star at around 26 million pounds, but since then Lukaku has played quite poorly and has not made any more impressions, so his value has decreased significantly.Daily Mail(Older brother)cIt is likely that the Belgian side will consider Tottenham's £17.5m asking price.

Harry Redknapp has failed to sign a quality striker in recent years, so he is keen to sign Lukaku. In addition, the recent decline in the quality of Spurs' strikers has forced Redknapp to make changes. Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe and Roman Pavlyuchenko have scored just 27 goals this season in all competitions, and in the Premier League, the three Tottenham strikers have only scored 11 times.

Not long ago, midfielder Van der Vaart revealed that the Spurs board would not hesitate to spend money to improve the club to realize their goals, so the above price is not too big of a problem for the London team. Last summer, Tottenham approached Lukaku but was flatly rejected by Anderlecht. Since the beginning of the season, Lukaku has scored 12 goals for the Belgian team. However, he has only scored 3 goals after Christmas.

Following Tottenham's defeat to Real in the Champions League, goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes has urged Spurs fans not to criticise the striker.Peter Crouchwhen "Garden Crane" had two tackles that led to being sent off too early.

“At half-time, Peter apologised to everyone. We can't blame him. Now he needs to keep his spirits up and help the club to progress in the remaining time of the season. It's not his fault. It's difficult for us to turn the game around in the second leg of the Champions League.", sheetThe Sun(UK) quoted Gomes.
