The Everton front four that could have been if they landed this key deal

Romelu Lukaku

Everton’s talisman Romelu Lukaku continues to score goals at a healthy rate for the Toffees, and is slowly developing into one of the best strikers in the Premier League.

The Belgian, who scored 11 goals in just 14 appearances for his country last year, has netted 12 goals in 21 league games this season, and also laid on four assists to suggest that he’s more than just an out-and-out goal-scorer.

His link-up play with the likes of Mirallas and Barkley has been excellent in recent weeks, and he’s well on course to surpassing last season’s tally of 18 Premier League goals, his best goal-scoring season ever, this time round.

It goes without saying that Lukaku is absolutely pivotal for Everton, and he’ll continue to be their go-to man for the rest of this campaign, and indeed for many years to come.
