Ronald Koeman hatches plan B as Everton prepare for life without striker Romelu Lukaku

Everton are planning for life without Romelu Lukaku in the eventuality their striker departs this month.

Chelsea are heavily interested in the 23-year-old and Ronald Koeman has targets lined up should they bow to a mega offer, as with John Stones and Manchester City.

Koeman confirmed Everton have received no formal bid for Lukaku, who they value at more than £60million, and does not believe the speculation has unsettled his prized asset.

Lukaku could return against West Brom after a heel injury forced him to sit out last week’s draw against Tottenham.
