Chelsea, West Ham and Crystal Palace have been put off from launching moves for Romelu Lukaku by Everton’s £65m valuation for the striker, reports say.
The Belgian has made no secret of his desire to leave Everton and in May said he wanted to “win titles” and that it was time to write a CV.
However, new Everton boss Ronald Koeman is believed to be desperate to keep hold of Lukaku, who left Chelsea in 2014.

The club have put a massive £65m price tag on the 23-year-old’s head and that figure is preventing several Premier League clubs from plotting moves.
The Daily Mail say London rivals Chelsea, West Ham and Crystal Palace have all made enquiries about Lukaku but are naturally put off by the asking price.
Lukaku, who featured at Euro 2016, scored 25 goals for Everton last season – including a run of nine goals in eight games before Christmas.
