Juventus reportedly scouted Everton striker Romelu Lukaku on Sunday.
According to Calcio Mercato, Juventus sent representatives to Goodison Park on Sunday to watch Everton striker Romelu Lukaku in action against West Ham United.
Juve have some of the most talented attackers in Europe, with Massimiliano Allegri having the likes of Gonzalo Higuain, Paulo Dybala and Mario Mandzukic at his disposal.

However, even after splashing a club-record fee on Higuain over the summer, it seems that Juve are keeping their options open up front, and will continue to monitor potential striking targets.
Calcio Mercato report that Juve have an interest in Everton striker Romelu Lukaku, and even sent representatives to Goodison Park to watch him in action against West Ham on Sunday.
Everton’s Romelu Lukaku celebrates scoring their first goal
Everton won the game 2-0, with Lukaku scoring the first goal with a header from Yannick Bolasie’s cross, before Lukaku then set up Ross Barkley with an inch perfect cross to seal the win.
The Belgian striker, 23, has been one of the Premier League’s finest strikers in recent years, scoring 60 goals in the four seasons prior to this one, whilst he’s already hit seven goals in nine Premier League outings this season.

It’s no great surprise that Lukaku’s displays are attracting interest, especially given that the striker told Sky Sports last season that he wants to be playing Champions League football in the near future.
Juventus – who have won the last five Serie A titles – can offer him just that, but whether they are so willing to splash huge money on another big-name striker so soon after signing Higuain remains to be seen, with Everton no doubt ready to demand a massive deal for their star man.
