The West Ham United vice-chairman comments on the Romelu Lukaku situation at Everton.
West Ham United vice-chairman Karren Brady has suggested in her football diary in The Sun that Everton manager Ronald Koeman should not have made his recent comments about Romelu Lukaku.
The Daily Mail recently quoted Koeman as telling Belgian newspaper HLN: “If Romelu was to play at Everton until the end of his career I know he has left something (behind). 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.
West Ham vice-chairman Brady has suggested that the Dutchman should not have made the comments that he did about Lukaku.
“Ronald Koeman has a strange way of praising striker Romelu Lukaku,” Brady wrote in her football diary in The Sun. “‘He’s too good for us at Everton’, says his manager. Which might be true but is hardly of use to the club, player or his team-mates.”
Lukaku is one of the best strikers in the Premier League, and the 23-year-old is likely to get better.
The former Anderlecht and Chelsea man has the potential to establish himself as one of the best strikers in the world.
Everton are a big club, and it would be best for the striker if he remains at Goodison Park until the end of the season at least.
If Lukaku develops into the striker that he is expected to be, then it would be hard for the Merseyside outfit to hold onto him.
The 23-year-old has scored seven goals and created 19 chances in 10 Premier League appearances for Everton.
