Ajax are hoping to tempt Anderlecht striker Romelu Lukaku out of a possible move to Chelsea, according to a report from broadcasters talkSPORT.
The report claims that the Dutch outfit plans to persuade the 17-year-old that the chance to become a star in the Netherlands is better for him at this stage of his career than a spell on the bench at a Premier League club.
The terms of the deal would apparently be a small fee to be paid by Ajax, with a huge sell-on clause in the youngster's contract that would see Anderlecht well rewarded for their development of the player.
Lukaku was pictured this summer at Stamford Bridge wearing a Chelsea shirt, but the Blues are not the only European giants interested in acquiring his services.
Real Madrid, Arsenal and Barcelona are also believed to be interested in the player, though his agent has also insisted that he is too young to move to such a huge club.
That has alerted Ajax, who believe they can offer the Belgian Under-21 international a chance to develop within their famed youth system.
