Lukaku not distracted by transfer talk
Romelu Lukaku insists he is not being distracted by speculation over his future, despite Everton manager Roberto Martinez’s fears he could be powerless to stop the Belgium striker leaving Goodison Park. Lukaku lit up Saturday’s FA Cup tie against former club Chelsea with a wondrous solo goal 13 minutes from time, before sealing a 2-0 win just five minutes later. Martinez said in the aftermath of that game that Everton’s new investment from Farhad Moshiri was no guarantee he would be able to repel interest in the likes of Lukaku, Ross Barkley and John Stones – a target of repeated bids from Chelsea.
