“Do everything to keep him at Everton next season”

Ronald Koeman has reiterated the clubs desire to keep Romelu Lukaku at Everton.

Koeman: “If someone is interested for sure they will call the board and then we will speak about it but we will try to do everything to keep him at Everton next season.

“He has scored 24 goals and with five games to go he can reach a really high total,” said Koeman. “”It is like for any player who is performing at a high level – every team likes to have goalscorers in the team because goals make points for the team.

“But I think he is improving in the rest of his football. He is doing better pressing and running in the channels.

“He is now a better striker for the team than he was last year.

“I’ve had several conversations about how, in my opinion, he needs to play as a striker and he is working hard and improving”.
