Gerard Deulofeu: 'Romelu Lukaku will be a hit at Everton'

Former Everton winger Gerard Deulofeu believes that Romelu Lukaku's permanent move to the Toffees will be a successful one.

The Barcelona youngster, who spent last term on loan at Goodison Park, thinks that the Blues' outlay of £28m will prove to be money well spent.

The Mirror quotes him as saying: "I think Lukaku is a really great footballer - he helped Everton last year very much indeed.

"He has huge quality and I think he will do very well at Everton this season. If Chelsea decided to sell Lukaku, it is because they have their reasons.

"The only thing I can say is that I wish the best for him - I am happy for him to go to Everton because he is going to have a great season, which will help him a lot."

Lukaku completed his club-record move from Chelsea on Wednesday.
