Everton manager Roberto Martinez has admitted he
still faces a battle to keep hold of star striker Romelu
Lukaku, despite new investment in the club.
Martinez said Lukaku's brace during Everton's 2-0
win over the Belgian striker's former club Chelsea
was world class in quality, but added such performances only increase the likelihood of strong
transfer interest in the summer. Everton have been
the beneficiaries of new investment from new
majority shareholder and billionaire Farhad Moshiri,
but Martinez said if Manchester United could be
tempted to sell Cristiano Ronaldo, then no-one at any Premier League club was safe from admirers. "It
was probably one of best pieces of quality you will
see in the FA Cup. That goal is as sweet as you’re
ever going to see," he said. "In any season the only
thing that matters is what happens from now until
the end of the campaign. I said many times Cristiano Ronaldo was sold by Manchester United so if
Manchester United cannot keep Cristiano Ronaldo
that is a sign of a modern game. "If you sell a player
for those sort of amounts I think you can get the
benefit of adding three or four players in your
squad. "It is down to recruitment, bringing the right characters and I think we have done that for the last
three years." Despite that, Martinez is excited for the
times ahead under Moshiri and chairman Bill
Kenwright. "We have got big projects and I’m sure
that Mr Moshiri mentioned that we are going to sit
down in the summer and make a decision with what the next
step is with Goodison, a new ground or developing
Goodison,” he said. "We want to be a Champions
League club, with a winning team and that is what
every Evertonian wants to do. "We have to go step
by step and carry on performing like we did against Chelsea."
