Romelu Lukaku has been a crucial player for Everton since joining the club last summer, scoring 14 goals in 27 matches for the Toffees. Roberto Martinez, Everton’s coach, relies heavily on the Belgian international striker, and he is expected to feature in the upcoming match against Sunderland on Saturday as part of the 34th day of the Premier League.
After struggling with injuries and poor form at the start of the season, Lukaku has made a remarkable comeback and has been in excellent form for Everton. His performances have caught the attention of several top European clubs.
Although Lukaku is currently on loan from Chelsea, Everton is keen on retaining his services beyond the current season. Martinez has expressed his desire to keep the striker at Goodison Park, highlighting the importance of offering him the opportunity to enjoy his football.
“We hope to keep him. What can we offer him? Just the chance to enjoy his football. Happiness is important for a player. When you can provide happiness to a player, it’s an incredible opportunity for him,” said Martinez.
Despite interest from other clubs, Everton remains hopeful of securing Lukaku’s long-term future at the club, recognizing his significant contributions to their success on the field.
