Everton has had a surprising first half of the Premier League season, currently sitting fourth in the standings. The Toffees had a ten-match unbeaten run before a setback against Sunderland on December 26. Romelu Lukaku, who experienced a period of offensive drought, scored the winning goal against Southampton, bringing his total to 9 goals. Lukaku, the Belgian international of Congolese origin, has been on the rise since joining Everton last summer on loan from Chelsea.
At the halfway point of the season, Lukaku believes Everton can compete with the top teams in the Premier League. He expresses confidence that Everton can finish in the Top 4 and even contends for the Premier League title. Lukaku emphasizes the team’s quality and acknowledges the need to be more ruthless on the pitch, a factor they plan to work on in the second half of the season.
