Chelsea Tell Everton They Can Keep Lukaku In Exchange For Barkley!

Romelu Lukaku seems to be moving to many Premier League according to the other reports out there but one thing is certain that he is currently on a season-long loan deal at Goodison Park where he is maturing into a lethal finisher having scored 12 league goals in 25 appearances. Roberto Martinez is keen to keep hold of the Belgian, but he is tipped to return to Stamford Bridge at the end of the season with Chelsea struggling for goals up front or Lukaku moving to Tottenham is the latest rumor.

However, according to Mirror, Mourinho is now prepared to let go of Lukaku, only if he can get the sensational Barkley in return. Barkley, tipped to be the future England captain, is viewed by Mourinho as an ideal replacement for Lampard, who looks set to leave Chelsea at the end of the season.

The Toffees will no doubt do everything they can in their power to keep Barkley, who looks set to become one of the major stars in the league. Martinez has already claimed he wants to build a team around Barkley in the future but the 20-year-old is yet to sign a new deal with Everton and Lukaku would be a nice addition if Everton are worried that Barkley wants to move to a supposed bigger club.
