Due to his prolific goal scoring form this season, the 23 year old has attracted the interest of many of the bigger clubs in Europe. The Toffees have been doing well this season and remain only six points off the Champions League positions.
The Toffees also boast a very young side who are yet to peak and this means that the team may be able to challenge for the Premier League in the coming years, should they manage to keep hold off all of their players.
After netting against Sunderland during his team’s 2-0 win against the struggling side on Saturday, Lukaku took his tally for the season to 17.
