3 top signings Everton could land with £90 million Lukaku money

Troy Deeney

The potential departure of Romelu Lukaku will leave a gaping hole in the Everton frontline, and one Koeman will quite simply have fill in the summer.

And one man he could go after, having been linked with him earlier in the campaign, is Watford striker Troy Deeney.

The 28-year-old, who has still yet to receive an England cap, has scored nine goals and laid on three assists in 27 Premier League appearances for the Hornets this season, with his strike against Crystal Palace on Boxing Day his 100th for the club.

His recent form has been superb, netting five goals in six league games for Walter Mazzarri’s side, and his aerial prowess and ability to hold the ball up is similar to that of Lukaku’s, while both are fine finishers.

Deeney is clearly a very adept forward at Premier League level, he scored 13 times for Watford last term as well, and he’s one that could go some way to filling the hole vacated by Lukaku this summer.
