Romelu Lukaku has revealed that his mother persuaded him
to join Everton after he ignored phone calls from Roberto
Martinez.
The Belgium international initially joined Everton on loan
from Chelsea in 2013 before making the move permanent in
a £28 million deal the following summer.
Lukaku, who has scored 15 Premier League goals season,
admits he does not regret his decision to join Everton but
admits he took some persuading.
“He [Martinez] actually called me three times and I didn’t
pick up on the first two, so I’m glad I answered eventually,”
Lukaku told FourFourTwo magazine.
“I discussed it with him, I spoke to Chelsea, I spoke to my
mother, and eventually she said: ‘Go to Everton.’ I haven’t
regretted it.
"Right from the very first training session it has been great.
He took me aside and we worked on movement, my hold-up
play, everything. With all the good young players coming
through, it felt like something good was happening.”
