EPL 2016/17: 5 strikers who could replace Romelu Lukaku at Everton

#1 Alexandre Lacazette

If Ronald Koeman is serious about taking Everton into the top 4, this is the kind of signing they must make

The Olympique Lyon striker has been the centre of attention in transfer rumours recently. The 25-year old has been linked to everyone from Manchester United to Real Madrid to West Ham United.

If he can be linked to West Ham, there’s no reason as to why Everton couldn’t go out and get him. If Everton could sell Romelu for a fee in excess of £60m, they could easily reinvest such funds in the Lyon forward.

If Ronald Koeman is serious about taking Everton into the top 4, this is the kind of signing they must make. Lacazette has amazingly scored 23 goals in 23 Ligue 1 games for Lyon, making him the league’s 2^nd top scorer.

The Frenchman is a player of many talents, not only can he be the focal point of an attack he can act as a creator on the flanks. Such versatility is needed in the modern game as teams look to adapt to different tactical approaches.
