Romelu Lukaku performs U-turn and opts to stay at Everton?

Romelu Lukaku reportedly decides to stay at Everton and sign a new contract.

Romelu Lukaku has reportedly decided to commit his future to Everton, despite initially indicating that he intended to leave Goodison Park this summer.

The Belgium international, who made a permanent move to the Toffees from Chelsea in 2014, has mentioned a handful of times that he wants to play Champions League football.

Following Roberto Martinez's sacking at the end of the season, it was widely expected that Lukaku would be next out of the door, but according to The Mirror, the 23-year-old has decided to sign a new contract.

The report adds that Lukaku is convinced that new owner Farhad Moshiri will guide the club into the Champions League with Ronald Koeman as manager.

Meanwhile, Lukaku's national teammate Axel Witsel is rumoured to be on the verge of joining Everton.
