Romelu Lukaku is set to become Everton's first £100,000-a-week player

Romelu Lukaku is set to become Everton's first £100,000-a-week player as he edges closer to signing a new deal at Goodison Park.

The Belgium striker's current contract ends in June 2019, but Everton have been in negotiations with Lukaku's agent, Mino Raiola, since earlier this summer when he saw his wish to rejoin Chelsea blocked.

Raiola attended the Merseyside derby on Monday night and was with Everton's majority investor Farhad Moshiri.
