Everton boss Ronald Koeman insists on star striker Romelu Lukaku penning new deal at Goodison: 'Maybe I need to sign that contract for him!'

Romelu Lukaku became the first Everton striker to score 20 goals in consecutive seasons since Bob Latchford as Ronald Koeman joked he himself might have to sign the Belgian’s new contract.

Everton are patiently waiting on Lukaku officially penning a new five-year deal in the coming weeks as he took his Premier League tally to 19 yesterday.

That is the 23-year-old’s best ever haul as Koeman’s side closed the gap with Manchester United to two points.
