Everton have slapped a £65m price tag on wantaway striker Romelu Lukaku.

But a leading Swiss-based research body doesn’t believe the 22-year-old striker is worth that much.

The Blues new boss - looking increasingly likely to be Ronald Koeman - will be given a club-record transfer kitty this summer that will include the proceeds from the sale of Lukaku.

Defender John Stones is also set to be targeted by a host of clubs again this summer following Chelsea’s dogged pursuit 12 months ago.

Everton rejected a series of bids from the London club, the final of which was in excess of £30m, but what is Stones’ market value now?

According to CIES Football Observatory, the England defender is worth 38.2m Euros (£29.9m) while Lukaku is valued at 58.1m Euros (£45.4m), almost £20m down on Everton’s asking price.

That figure ranks Lukaku, who scored 25 goals last season but made it clear he wants to leave Goodison, as the player with the 24th highest transfer value in Europe’s ‘big five’ leagues – England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain.

Stones is rated at 64th but Ross Barkley (39.7m Euros) is up at 58th.

According to CIES, eight players on their list would command transfer fees of 100m Euros or more; Lionel Messi, Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo, Antoine Griezmann, Harry Kane, Anthony Martial, Luis Suarez and Paulo Dybala.
