Everton owner Farhad Moshiri insists Ronald Koeman's comments on the future of Romelu Lukaku were 'taken out of context'

Daily Mail | November 10, 2016

Ronald Koeman's comments about Romelu Lukaku's potential to represent Barcelona have been 'taken out of context', according to Everton owner Farhad Moshiri.

On Wednesday the Dutch manager somewhat bizarrely suggested Belgian striker Lukaku, 23, needs to play at a bigger club to fulfil his potential.

But British-Iranian businessman Moshiri, who bought an almost 50-per-cent stake in Everton in February, has since moved to reassure supporters about the top scorer's future at Goodison Park.

Romelu Lukaku has scored 10 goals for club and country so far during the 2016-17 season
