The Belgium striker, 23, has enjoyed a sizzling start to the season, already racking up ten goals for club and country.
That sort of form has attracted the interest of Bayern Munich — after Chelsea failed to lure him back to Stamford Bridge in the summer.

But Lukaku is happy to leave contract talks to super-agent Mino Raiola.
The hitman said: “My agent doesn’t talk to me about that really.
“He is doing a good job with the club — and we will see what happens.
“He just wants me to be focused on performances.”
Lukaku does not regret staying at Everton this season and even withdrew his transfer request following talks with Toffees boss Ronald Koeman after the Euros.
Lukaku added: “I told him how I felt, we had an honest conversation.
