RUMOURS: Chelsea eye Benteke as Lukaku alternative

Incoming boss Antonio Conte is ready to add to his forward line and has reportedly earmarked the Reds targetman should a move for his top transfer target fail to transpire

Chelsea will move for Liverpool's Christian Benteke if they are unable to sign Romelu Lukaku this summer, according to The Times.
Everton striker Lukaku, who spent two seasons at Stamford Bridge earlier in his career, is said to be Anonio Conte’s main target ahead of next season.
Conte is keen to bolster his attacking options with Diego Costa’s future in doubt, and the Belgium forward is said to be open to a switch back to London.
However, if the 23-year-old is unavailable then the Blues will move for his international team-mate Benteke, who scored nine goals in 29 Premier League appearances for Jurgen Klopp's side last season.
