Top 5: Potential replacements for Everton’s Romelu Lukaku

Wayne Rooney

The rumours connecting Everton and scouse-born Wayne Rooney are refusing to die down.

In fact, with the news about Lukaku’s future, they are getting ever more intense. The Mirror has reported that Ronald Koeman is interested, Manchester United are willing to cut the transfer fee and Rooney may even be willing to take a pay cut to return to Everton.

A Toffees side with an ageing Rooney up front would have a very different dynamic to the powerful Lukaku, but a proven and experienced striker of Rooney’s calibre could be the perfect replacement.
