# Everton defensive target wants Premier League move this summer

Everton linked left-back Jordan Lukaku wants to move to the Premier League this summer, with his Lazio future likely to come to an end.

The 23-year full-back, younger brother of former Blues striker Romelu Lukaku, is out of favour with Serie A outfit Lazio, despite playing 44 games for the Biancocelesti last season.

[Football Italia](https://www.football-italia.net/124903/lukaku-join-everton) reported several days ago that the Toffees were the front-runners for Lukaku’s signature, with the club actively pursuing a deal for a left-back this summer.

According to [Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/lazio-sirene-inglesi-per-lukaku-lotito-chiede-10-milioni-18454), who cite Italian source Il Tempo, Lukaku is still an outcast at the Stadio Olimpico at the moment, where a Premier League move seems like the most likely outcome.

Lazio owner Claudio Lotitio is demanding at least €10million for the former Anderlecht defender, with Leicester City and West Ham also reportedly interest.

Calciomercato claim that the Foxes have already had a proposal turned down, with Lotito deeming their offer unsatisfactory.
