Lukaku Making Eyes at Big Cup

Shortly after making his move from Chelsea to Everton permanent, Romelu Lukaku said it is where he felt he belonged and “is where I want to grow.”

But with recent proclamations from the big Belgian and his agent, it appears that he feels his growing is all but done.

With 18 league goals under his belt this season, Lukaku is enjoying the best period of his career and could look to capitalise on it once again with an eye firmly planted on the Champions League.
In a recent interview he said “Let’s see what the future brings. I need to be playing in the Champions League. That’s the next step for me. It will be nice to play in the Champions League for next season.”

A number of clubs are said to be interested in the young forward, with not yet named Chelsea manager Antonio Conte keen to bring Lukaku back to Stamford Bridge. While the Belgian refused to rule out a return leaving it at “let’s see what the future brings” - the London club would not be able to provide the Champions League that Lukaku seems set on.

Lukaku’s father, Roger, believes his son should choose Manchester United over the other clubs courting him — ignoring the fact that a top four finish for the NW side growing unlikelier by the week.

Luck senior said “I know his agent prefers Italy but I think he must choose United or Bayern. Manchester United is a team under construction with no real focus.”

While United could benefit from a proven goalscorer like Lukaku — he has scored as many as Martial, Rooney and Lingered combined — the Belgian will likely wait to see how the final table shapes up before pushing for a move.
