Koeman expects continued Lukaku interest

Romelu Lukaku will continue being a target for the world's biggest clubs, Everton manager Ronald Koeman said.

Everton manager Ronald Koeman expects Romelu Lukaku to attract interest from the world's biggest clubs, but he is thrilled to have the striker.

Lukaku, 23, opted to remain at Goodison Park at the end of last season despite interest from Chelsea – his team's opponents on Saturday.

He already has seven goals in nine league games, well on track for a fifth straight campaign with 10 or more goals.

Koeman knows clubs will keep coming back for Lukaku, who is contracted until mid-2019.
