Lukaku ready for a big move, says ex-Belgium boss Leekens

The Everton striker continues to generate plenty of transfer talk on the back of his goal-scoring exploits and the snubbing of a new contract

Everton striker Romelu Lukaku is “ready for a big, big move” as Chelsea and Manchester United circle, claims former Belgium manager Georges Leekens.

The Toffees frontman has netted 21 times in the Premier League this season to spark further talk of big-money transfers.

He has also snubbed the opportunity to pen fresh terms at Goodison Park as he takes aim at the grandest stages in football, including the Champions League.
