LUKAKU MUST FIRE AGAINST THE BEST

-

AFTER declaring he did not want to sign a new contract at Everton it was so important that Romelu Lukaku scored this weekend — even though he left it very late!

I do feel Lukaku is ready to move on and test himself at a bigger club. While I am not sure where he would go, Lukaku could be the perfect player to replace Diego Costa should he leave Chelsea in the summer.

But it is one thing to score two goals at the end of a game against 10-man, relegation- threatened Hull and another to do it against the top teams.

That is the key difference between Costa and Lukaku — Costa affects the big matches. Should Lukaku return to Chelsea, that is what he would need to bring to his game.
