Lukaku provided seven assists and scored 25 goals in all competitions for Everton last season. However, the Belgium international is yet to get off the mark this term.
The 23-year-old was closely linked with a move to Chelsea over the summer by the Mirror however, Everton resisted offers from the Blues to keep their hands on their star asset.
Everton take on Sunderland this weekend in the Premier Leauge as they look to extend their winning run to three games.
