ASTON VILLA are the leading favourites to sign Romelu Lukaku this summer.
That's according to bookmakers Ladbrokes, who price the Villains at the top of the market to land the former Manchester United striker.

They're currently 4/1 to bolster their attacking options with the Belgian this summer.
Lukaku's loan at Inter finishes this season with the striker set to return to parent club Chelsea.
The Belgian will still have three years left on his deal, having signed a long-term contract to join Chelsea in the summer of 2021.
Though Graham Potter is understood to NOT have Lukaku as part of his plans moving forward.
Christopher Nkunku has already reportedly put pen to paper on a pre-contract basis to join the Blues this summer.
As a result, the 29-year-old will go in search of joining the seventh club of his career when the season wraps up in May.
And Aston Villa are reportedly at the front of the queue to make a move and lead the betting with Ladbrokes at 4/1.

Reports abroad claim Villa are admirers of the striker and plan to swoop when they can in the summer.
Premier League rivals Newcastle are the closest challengers and are 6/1.
Eddie Howe has Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak to choose from as central striker but both have spent long periods out with injury.
Spurs come next as the summer questions over Harry Kane's future are set to arise.
It'd be one for a new manager to make the call on, with Antonio Conte unlikely to still be in charge going forward.
Juventus are 12/1, just ahead of PSG at 16/1 – the same price as a return to Goodison Park and Everton.
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "It might not be with Chelsea, but the odds suggest Romelu Lukaku will be playing in the Premier League next season, with Aston Villa heading the betting for his signature as things stand."
