Everton need to get Romelu Lukaku to sign that contract

He’s their main man, and their all-time Premier League top scorer – on Saturday, Romelu Lukaku was once again instrumental in Everton’s success, being heavily involved in the opening goals and scoring the third. At 23, his rate of goals for Everton is unbelievable – the big question is, how long can they keep him, and will he ever sign that new contract?

Schneiderlin nets against former suitors

Morgan Schneiderlin’s first goal for Everton since his move from Manchester United came against West Brom, a side that courted the Frenchman heavily during the January transfer window, according to BBC Sport. Schneiderlin appears to have settled well into the Everton side that he netted his previous Premier League goal against, for Manchester United.

Barkley is blossoming

Setting up Lukaku’s goal with a beautifully weighted cross, Ross Barkley has shown this season more than ever that he is growing ever in confidence – and we’re not just talking about his pre-emptive goal celebration against Bournemouth. Heavily involved in 2 goals against West Brom, Barkley is proving his worth and maturity to any doubters of his ability.

Everton could have ended West Brom’s Europe hopes

With all their quality in attack, the Toffees look like a tricky prospect to catch as the season nears its conclusion.
