Everton star Romelu Lukaku is one of the best strikers in the Premier League.
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has suggested in The Daily Mail that Romelu Lukaku could leave Everton in the coming years.
Lukaku is one of the best strikers in the Premier League and is a key member of the current Everton team.
The Belgium international has scored seven goals and created 20 chances in 11 league appearances for the Toffees so far this season.
During the 2015-16 campaign, the 23-year-old scored 18 goals and created 51 chances in 37 Premier League matches.
Everton manager Ronald Koeman recently suggested to Belgian newspaper HLN that Lukaku’s final destination is not Goodison Park.
“If Romelu was to play at Everton until the end of his career I know he has left something (behind),” Koeman told HLN, as translated by The Daily Mail. “His potential is greater and higher than Everton as a final destination.”
Everton’s majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri subsequently told talkSPORT that Koeman’s comments about the Belgium international striker were taken out of context.
Former Liverpool defender Carragher has stated that Koeman is right about Lukaku.
“The thing is, Koeman is right,” Carragher wrote in The Daily Mail. “If Lukaku continues to score more than 20 goals per season, he is going to want to play for one of the biggest clubs in Europe and be a regular in the Champions League.
“Liverpool have found themselves in a similar position in recent years: as Xabi Alonso, Javier Mascherano and Luis Suarez prove, once a superpower shows interest, the end result is a move.
“That is how football works and that is why there is a slight concern Philippe Coutinho might be next.”
Everton are seventh in the Premier League table at the moment with 19 points from 12 matches.
The Merseyside outfit will return to action next weekend when they take on Southampton away from home at St. Mary’s Stadium in the Premier League.
