Coral’s five clubs for ambitious Everton striker Romelu Lukaku

Talented target man Lukaku has also shown ability to act as an wide outlet when Roberto Martinez’s tactics call for it, making him a potentially perfect replacement for Cavani, who is often shunted to the wing.

Also, who better for a young poacher to study than the prolific and confident Sweden superstar Ibrahimovic?

Inter Milan
Fallen Italian giants Inter may be stranded in mid-table at the moment, but their history, improving infrastructure and European pedigree means the Milanese men have a higher ceiling than Everton.

Top marksman Mauro Icardi is being linked with a big-money exit, so the Nerazzurri could need to go shopping for a new striker this summer. Luring Lukaku to Serie A would be a huge coup, and perhaps unlikely, but Roberto Mancini’s reputation could swing it for the San Siro side.

Schalke
Any swoop by Schalke for the Toffees attacker would likely depend on their success in securing Champions League football for next season.

However, Gelsenkirchen club boss Roberto Di Matteo, who previously lifted Europe’s elite club competition, worked with young Lukaku at former club Chelsea and could attempt to take his former charge to this German industrial heartland.

Lukaku, who looks fearsome when in full flight, could bully many a Bundesliga defender, should Schalke lose top scorer and soon-to-be out-of-contract Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.

Playing Julian Draxler off Lukaku, with midfield prodigies Max Meyer and Leon Goretzka feeding passes to the pair could be an exciting prospect.

Valencia
Los Che are a little light up top, so Lukaku could find La Liga may offer him an escape route from Everton.

Promising Paco Alcacer has stalled a little of late, benched in favour of underwhelming Manchester City-owned Alvaro Negredo, with the pair grabbing just seven league goals between them.

Valencia’s wafer thin squad could use a boost and the Mestalla men have shown they are willing to fork out for top talents, with a recent splurge for Argentina international midfielder Enzo Perez a prime example.

Wolfsburg
Big-spending Bundesliga side Wolfsburg could also offer Lukaku a path into European football should their fine form continue, and the tabloids are touting this as a potential destination for him.

Ex-Blues boys Andre Schurrle and Lukaku’s compatriot Kevin De Bruyne could play a part in convincing the powerful forward to test his talents elsewhere, and fans would surely enjoy watching the trio of former Chelsea stars shine together.

The potent attacking midfield pair of Schurrle and De Bruyne have so far struck up a blossoming partnership. So, if Die Wolfe are genuinely intent on challenging German juggernaut Bayern Munich in the aftermath of Borussia Dortmund’s implosion, snatching Lukaku would be a sure signal of intent.
