How Chelsea starlet can help Conte to seal Lukaku deal

Chelsea starlet Bertrand Traore has emerged as a top transfer target for West Ham with the Hammers who are looking to strengthen their attacking department. The Burkina Faso International has had a stunning loan spell at Ajax attracting interest from all over England.

West Ham could either sign Traore on loan or on a permanent deal but the Hammers are not the only club to have been linked with a summer move for the 21-year-old.
According to The Mirror, in fact, Chelsea could also use their starlet as part of the deal to sign Romelu Lukaku who has emerged as Chelsea’s summer transfer priority.

With Alvaro Morata on the verge of joining Manchester United, the Belgian has become Chelsea’s main striking target for the summer and Everton may request Traore’s services plus a huge cash offer to allow Lukaku to make return to Stamford Bridge.

​Chelsea could use Traore as part of a player-plus cash swap deal with Everton or could either sell their starlet to West Ham in order to enhance their transfer budget and match Everton’s price-tag for Lukaku.
