#3 Romelu Lukaku

Lukaku is looking for a bigger club now with a better agent in Raiola

Romelu Lukaku is only 23 years old but has already proved himself in the Premier League. He won Anderlecht the Belgian League in 2009-10, being the league’s top scorer as scored a staggering 41 goals in 98 appearances for the Belgian club when he was only 18 years old.

Lukaku has since moved on to Chelsea and now Everton – and he might be going back to the London club again this transfer window.

The striker is also one of the high profile names who is managed by the super agent. Raiola has been trying to fix Lukaku’s future at a better club than Everton given the Belgian’s exploits for his national team at the recently concluded Euro 2016.

Raiola has been with the player since last year and has maybe motivated the player to move to a new level after having scored 61 goals in 127 appearances for the Merseysiders. Raiola has spoken about Lukaku’s future saying that the player wants to play for a bigger club but that Everton also have a new plan in place after the new ownership.

He was quoted as saying, “Everton don't need the money anymore but Romelu wants to play for a club that can win trophies. [However] something's changed at Everton. There's a new project. If he leaves, it has to be a good deal for all parties.”

New manager Ronald Koeman has also said he wants the striker to stay at the club. The agent has been doing a good job with the player, which might result in Lukaku playing for a bigger club, or Everton offering him an improved contract.
