Everton talisman Romelu Lukaku has revealed that a Premier League outfit were 'really keen' to recruit him over the summer, only for the Toffees to prevent a sale.
The 23-year-old striker was linked with Chelsea during pre-season, with the Blues strongly touted to land their ex-employee, after netting 45 goals in two campaigns since leaving in a deal worth £28million.
Serie A giants Juventus were also said to be interested in the Belgian's services before parting with £75.95m (€90m) to sign Napoli's Gonzalo Higuain.
Toffees manager Ronald Koeman - who recently angered supporters after claiming that Lukaku is good enough to play for Barcelona - is credited as keeping the Antwerp-born star on Merseyside.
