If Romelu Lukaku leaves Everton this summer, the Toffees will reportedly look to sign West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino as a replacement.

Everton have reportedly made Saido Berahino their number one target to replace Romelu Lukaku in the summer.

It is widely expected that 25-goal Lukaku will depart Goodison Park in the near future, having expressed a desire to play in the Champions League.

According to The Sun, West Bromwich Albion frontman Berahino is the player that the Toffees want to fill the potential void.

The report adds that due to the fact that the 22-year-old's contract at The Hawthorns expires at the end of next season, Everton believe that they can secure his services for £12m.

Berahino, who scored seven goals in all competitions last term, has previously been linked with Tottenham Hotspur, Stoke City and Crystal Palace.
