Romelu Lukaku has endured lots of ups and downs with Everton fans.
Romelu Lukaku established himself as one of the best strikers in the Premier League at Everton and many would argue his best years were spent at Goodison Park.
Lukaku netted a whopping 87 goals in 166 appearances during his four-year stay on Merseyside and became a real fan favourite.
The Belgium international completed a mega-money move to Manchester United in 2017, and that’s when the relationship with Everton fans started to become a bit sour.
Lukaku cupped his ears to the travelling Blues supporters after netting for Man United at Old Trafford, but that’s now water under the bridge, it seems.

Lukaku on the verge of second Serie A title
Lukaku is enjoying a really productive debut season with Napoli, who are currently the league leaders in Serie A.
The 32-year-old has netted 13 goals whilst laying on 11 assists across all competitions, proving his playmaking abilities.
Napoli are a point ahead of second-placed Inter Milan with just one game to go, so it’s set up for a dramatic final day of the season.
