Rumor Has It: New Chelsea boss Potter keen on Kane, plotting Lukaku exchange deal
It is all change at Chelsea after Graham Potter's arrival, with the new Blues boss eager to bring Harry Kane to Stamford Bridge.
Harry Kane remains at the center of significant transfer speculation after the Tottenham striker failed to secure a move to Manchester City last year.
The England star appears more settled under Antonio Conte but has recently been linked with Bayern Munich.
Kane has strongly started this Premier League campaign, netting six goals in seven appearances.
