Romelu Lukaku (Everton)
Current Wages: £90,000
Contract Expiry: 2019
The former Blues striker was linked with a return to the Stamford Bridge earlier in the summer of 2016, however, a move did not materialize. And now Everton manager Ronald Koeman has said that the club are in negotiations with the Belgian over a better contract.
But Chelsea can not only match the wages that the Toffees will offer but can offer significantly more. And at the same time, the return of Champions League football to the Bridge could also prove to be an enticing factor.
Lukaku has scored 12 goals so far this season and also has 4 assists to his name. The Belgian put in a fine display against Manchester City, opening the scoring in his side’s 4-0 win and he is someone whose stock is continuously on the rise.
Statistically, Lukaku hasn’t fared bad either, averaging 2.7 shots per match and winning 3.8 headed duels. However, it is his passing that doesn’t meet up to the mark, with Lukaku completing just 63.1 of his 26.1 attempted passes per game.
