One season left on contract: Why Everton must sign Ligue 1 hotshot to replace Lukaku
Loss of Lukaku

Everton need a striker that boasts the same kind of presence on the last shoulder of the opposition defence, who is equally adept in the air as he is with the ball at his feet. To a lesser extent, Rolan is that man.
