Everton should consider a move for the Belgian in the summer.

Everton boss Sam Allardyce will have a lot of work to do at Goodison Park in the summer, if he is still in charge of course.

The Toffees have one of the oldest squads in the Premier League, with an injection of both quality and youth needed this summer.

One particular area where the Merseyside outfit need to strengthen is their left-back department, with Leighton Baines set to turn 34 in December.

With this in mind, Everton should target a move for Lazio full-back Jordan Lukaku - the younger brother of Manchester United's Romelu Lukaku.

The 23-year-old has risen to prominence since making his £4.4 million switch to Lazio in the summer of 2016, and possesses all of the attributes needed to be a success in the Premier League.

He is physically strong, possesses pace in abundance, and has excellent positional awareness for someone so young.

Lukaku is an attacking full-back, and possesses a potent delivery - an attribute that would make him the ideal long-term successor to Baines.

He is under contract with Lazio until the summer of 2019, and is valued at just £6.1 million, according to Transfer Markt - an absolute bargain in today's day and age.

The Belgium international still has plenty of time left with which to improve, and he would surely prove to be a superb signing for Everton.
