According to ESPN, it was the mother of Romelu Lukaku that persuaded the young Belgian to sign for the Goodison Park outfit.
Thus far this season Lukaku has been in scintillating form, finding the net an impressive 19 times for The Toffees. Lukaku is the leagues most inform striker having netted in 12 goals in his 12 games in the royal blue jersey. Lukaku has also notched 8 goals in his last 7 games.

Romelu Lukaku underwent a frustrating few seasons at Chelsea before flourishing during loan spells at West Brom and then Everton.
After his loan spell at Everton Lukaku was a man in demand and admitted to ignoring calls from Everton boss Roberto Martinez.
Martinez actually called me three times and I didn’t pick up on the first two, so I’m glad I answered eventually.

In the end it was Mrs. Lukaku who sealed the faith of her son.
‘I discussed it with him (Martinez), I spoke to Chelsea and I spoke to my mother. Eventually she said go to Everton. I haven’t regretted it.’
Lukaku has been Everton’s star striker this season and his late goal against Manchester City has given Everton a massive helping hand towards sealing their place at Wembley.
Well in, Rom’s mum.
