Chelsea are ready to make a final £22million bid for Anderlecht star striker Romelu Lukaku.
The Belgian club rejected a £17.7m offer from the Blues last month, demanding £30m for the teenager.
But new boss Andre Villas-Boas wants the striker at the club as quick as possible, as lukaku is a player seen as a long-term replacement for Didier Drogba.
Chelsea insist they will not be forced into offering Anderlechts original asking price but believe they can persuade them with a deal worth a total of £22 million with installments.
Eralier in the week it became apparant that Villas-Boas looks to have missed out on Porto striker Falcao, who has agreed a new deal in Portugal. And that just adds importance on the capture of Lukaku before the Premier League starts in four weeks time.
