Lukaku set for Toffees extension

Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku is all set to commit his future to Everton on a new five-year contract.

The 23-year-old has been continuously linked with a move away from Goodison due to his dream of playing Champions League football.

While the Toffees have yet to make progress into the top-four this season, it is understood that the marksman is convinced that the club could go further in the league.

Agent Mino Raiola suggested that the deal is '99,9' percent over the past week, and as per TalkSPORT, the forward is set to put pen to paper on a new five-year contract on wages of around £100,000-a-week.

Lukaku has scored a goal in every other game for Everton since arriving from Chelsea in the summer of 2013 - initially on a one-year loan deal.

He is currently just a goal shy of Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane (19), who is the leading scorer in the top flight.
