Romelu Lukaku has told the media to "stay out of my business" after the latest newspaper speculation over his Everton future.

A story in Monday's edition of The Sun claimed Lukaku has reservations over rejoining Chelsea this summer and is interested in a move to Manchester United.

The Premier League's top scorer told Everton earlier this year he would not sign their latest contract offer, although sources said at the time talks would continue.

Writing on Twitter, apparently in response to The Sun story, he said: "Some media these days are annoying man....

"As long as I didn't make a public statement about my situation please stay out of my business, OK?"

Lukaku, who has scored 24 league goals this season, is approaching the final two years of his current deal.

And Tony Gale told Premier League Daily he expects Chelsea to be in the running for the Belgian's signature this summer, even if he is not "the finished article".

"Teams defend deep against Chelsea at home," Gale said. "He has to improve with his back to play. It's not about playing on the break as he does at Everton at the moment.

"He's not the finished article but he's one of the best about, so Chelsea must be in the hunt for him, and they wouldn't mind saying 'we hold our hands up. He wasn't good enough then but we'll pay the money now to get him back.

"Strikers like that are very much at a premium across the world - there's not many about."
