Everton closing in on Romelu Lukaku loan deal
EVERTON ??are set to boost their striking options by sealing a loan deal for Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku. ??
He will add to the competition for places under Roberto Martinez, whose side have failed to score in each of their last two league games.
Lukaku, 20, scored 17 goals for West Brom and will rival Arouna Kona and Nikica Jelavic for a striking role at Everton.
There is no option for a permanent deal and Lukaku has been assured he will be given opportunities.
West Brom are ironically in the process of finalising a £5m deal for Everton striker Victor Anichebe.
