Lukaku 'thinks about' lack of Champions League football

The Everton striker insists he he will not attempt to force a move away from Goodison Park but admitted he wants to play in Europe's primary club competition in the future.

Romelu Lukaku has admitted he hopes to play Champions League soccer sooner rather than later, but insists any departure from Everton will be handed amicably.

The Belgian striker has scored 25 goals in all competitions this season to guide the Toffees to the FA Cup semifinals, but Roberto Martinez's men sit 12th in the Premier League.

Their lowly league position has led to speculation linking Lukaku with a big-money move to one of Europe's top clubs, and the 22-year-old acknowledged the Champions League was on his mind.
