Liverpool Transfers: 10 Dream Alternatives To Loic Remy

6. Romelu Lukaku (Chelsea)

Romelu Lukaku was extremely impressive with Liverpool's Merseyside rivals Everton last season, and given his Chelsea future is still uncertain, the Belgian striker should be considered a realistic target for the Reds. Lukaku is proven with both West Brom and the Toffees after two successful loan spells with the Premier League clubs in the last two Premier League seasons, though with Diego Costa now in the Chelsea ranks his chances look limited at Stamford Bridge. Whether Jose Mourinho would want to sell another star attacker to a rival club remains to be seen, but Liverpool's funds in the bank mean they have the ability to test Chelsea's willingness to keep hold of the player. Liverpool would likely go head to head with Everton for Lukaku's permanent signature if they were to enter the race for the powerful striker, though clubs from Germany are also said to be interested in ending the 21-year-old's Chelsea nightmare. Despite Lukaku's own claims that he would like to compete for his place in the starting line up at Stamford Bridge, he is likely fighting a losing battle to finally impress Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho and could end up sold by the end of the transfer window. It remains to be seen if Liverpool want to be in the chase to sign him.
