Romelu Lukaku: I want to "leave my mark" at Everton

Everton striker Romelu Lukaku says that he wants to make his mark and finish in the Champions League places with the Blues.

Everton striker Romelu Lukaku has stated his ambition to make his mark at the club by finishing fourth in the Premier League.

Lukaku, who is on a season-long loan from Chelsea, has enjoyed a successful campaign at Goodison Park, scoring 14 goals for the Blues.

He told the Liverpool Echo: "I want to leave my mark in so many ways but ending in fourth would be the main one. I play football to win and I say in every interview I've done I focus more on winning than scoring goals.

"Scoring goals comes as part of that because you need goals to win games and that's my job. But the focus is winning games because if I'm only set on scoring I might be happy if I scored but we don't win and that's never good.

"Football is a team sport and there are 18 people involved on a match day, 25 in the senior squad. You need to think about your teammates and the fans in the stadium."

Roberto Martinez's side are currently fifth in the division, a point behind Arsenal with a game in hand on their rivals.
