Manchester United have confirmed that they have reached a deal with
Everton for the signing of Romelu Lukaku. The 24 year old was the
subject of a £75m bid on Thursday.
The club has now announced that a deal is in place to bring the
Belgian to Old Trafford.
Confirming the annoucement via it tweeter page, it says thus:
"MUFC is delighted to announce a fee has been agreed with Everton for
the transfer of Romelu Lukaku, subject to a medical & personal terms"
With this announcement, they have succeeded in beating Chelsea to the
signature of Lukaku. He was poised to rejoin Chelsea after being
linked all summer to Stamford Bridge. But following Manchester
United's failure to reach an agreement with Real Madrid over the
signing of Alvaro Morata, Jose Mourinho has moved quickly to sign
Lukaku, jumping ahead of the queue to beat Chelsea who were previously
in prime position for his signature.
The Belgian has been prolific during his time in the Premier League
since he was first signed by Chelsea in 2011 as an 18 year old. His
goals have largely been with West Brom and Everton after failing to
secure a first team place at Chelsea. He was loaned out to West Brom
and Everton before securing a permanent deal to Goodison Park. With a
new chapter set to begin in his career, he is just less than 15 goals
away from clocking a century of goals in the Premier League.
