Romelu Lukaku defends ambition, says decision already made on Everton deal

Romelu Lukaku confirmed that a decision on Everton's offer of a new contract has been decided, while defending his "ambition" to win trophies.

After Lukaku's agent, Mino Raiola, claimed last month a new deal was "99.9 percent agreed," sources confirmed that the player had told Everton he would not be signing the offer, while the club held out hope for a resolution.

But speaking to reporters while with the Belgium national team, Lukaku left no doubt his mind is made up.

"The decision has already been made so I can't talk about that," Lukaku said of his future at Everton.
