Romelu Lukaku has admitted he is aiming to help Everton qualify for next season's Champions League.

The Belgium striker scored twice for the Toffees in Saturday's 3-3 Merseyside derby draw against Liverpool, keeping them firmly in the mix towards the top end of the table.

 


Indeed, while Everton are seventh in the standings, they are just three points from second spot, sitting on 21 points from 12 games.

And Lukaku, who is on a season-long loan at Goodison Park from Chelsea, has set the very highest of goals.
