Arsenal have reportedly joined cross town rivals Chelsea in the race for Romelu Lukaku.

Italian publication TuttoMercatoWeb has reported that the Gunners have held talks with Everton over a deal for the Belgium striker.

With Arsenal looking increasingly unlikely to secure Jamie Vardy, Lukaku could become a high priority for Arsene Wegner this transfer window.

French giants PSG are also said to be in talks with the Toffees.

The fee for the 23-year-old will reportedly be around £31 million.
