Lukaku: Denies a deal is done<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Romelu Lukaku has denied that a deal is already in place to take him to Chelsea this summer.<\/p>\n

A host of clubs from around Europe are chasing the Anderlecht striker, although Chelsea have been on his trail for a number of years.<\/span><\/p>\n

17-year-old Lukaku is a confirmed Chelsea fan and Didier Drogba has contacted him on a regular basis.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anderlecht have constantly denied any deal was done – but fresh reports have claimed that Chelsea have finally managed to beat off the rival interest and agree a deal for Lukaku.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a complicated deal, Anderlecht are reported to have told Chelsea that they would be willing to agree terms over Lukaku as long as they could have Kevin de Bruyne.<\/span><\/p>\n

De Bruyne is another Belgian prospect who Chelsea are looking to sign from Racing Genk.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anderlecht would love to take De Bruyne and now want to agree a deal with Chelsea which would either see them loaning the 19-year-old from The Blues, or they would be allowed to sign him directly in return for the West London giants getting first refusal.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the first reactions are that a deal has not been struck.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lukaku posted on his Twitter account, saying: “Rumours are not always true people, so no questions about those rumours of Chelsea.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Brugge also insisted that a deal was not agreed, their chief executive Dirk Degraen said: “This is futuristic talk.”<\/span><\/p>\n

However, Belgian sources insist that Anderlecht’s general manager Herman Van Holsbeeck has been in London this week to finalise a deal with Chelsea.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is also reported he met with Arsenal in order to try and strike loan deals for Dutch youngster Oguzhan Ozyakup and Brazilian prospect Wellington – currently with Levante.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
