Romelu Lukaku open to permanent Everton switch

Everton's on-loan striker Romelu Lukaku has revealed that he is open to staying with the Merseyside outfit beyond the end of the current season.

The 20-year-old Belgian forward who is currently on a season-long loan deal at Everton from Premier League giants Chelsea, admitted that he would love to stay with the Toffees beyond the summer, should the club qualify for the Champions League next season.


"It's not a bad idea," He said. "If we play Champions League, yeah, why not? I was watching the games this week and I miss European football a lot.


"I would like to be successful at Chelsea but I have to work and grow and be a better player and then at the end of the season see what is the best decision for my career."


Lukaku has notched up seven goals for Everton in the Premier League so far this season.
