Lukaku set for permanent deal

Sky are now reporting that Romelu Lukaku is set to join Everton for £24m.

There had been quite a bit of speculation surrounding Lukaku and whether Chelsea would be willing to release him after an out standing season with Everton, it appears now that the Martinez magic is working again and Lukaku is about to join the toffees on permanent deal.

This would be an incredible signing and a real sign of Everton's intent this season to live up to Martinez's hold promise of Champions League football to chairman Bill Kenwright. Lukaku is one of my favorite players to watch. It's amazing to think he only just turned 21 in May.

Everton's dream of Champion League football does come alive with this world class striker. Martinez wanted to make some big signings and spend some big money this summer. They accumulated money by using loan players and young players. Now they are stockpiling.

It really irritates me that he costs the same as Fellaini. >.> Really got ripped off there..
