The Belgium international, who netted 25 goals in 46 appearances this campaign, has been the Merseyside club's top scorer for the past two seasons following his a record 28 million-pound ($40.5 million) move from Chelsea.

"In my head I know where I want to go but I'm keeping that to myself. You will know when it is concluded. I have to make a good choice but in my head that has happened already," Lukaku, 23, told British media.
