Romelu Lukaku to sign new Everton deal

Everton’s star striker Romelu Lukaku is set to sign a new deal at the club according to his agent.

The forward has been in fine form for the Toffees this season with 17 goals in 25 games and is on target to beat stiff competition to the golden boot.

The Belgian’s future has been in question since he arrived at Everton, with a move back to Chelsea always in the offing. The club were said to be looking at a £75m move for the player but he will now sign a bumper contract.

Speaking on Thursday, Mino Raiola explained:

There are no problems right now between the player and the club.

He will sign.

Lukaku is on course to become Everton’s highest scoring player in the Premier League era if he is to score just two more goals. He would surpass Duncan Ferguson if he was to break the record.

The Belgian is also top of the Premier League scoring charts and will be looking to finish the season strongly in order to win the coveted golden boot.
