Leon Osman is hoping that Everton FC can move quickly to bring back Romelu Lukaku.

He says that the players do hear the rumours about who is set to come through the door at Goodison Park - but he wants to see the big Belgian signed up quickly enough to play in his testimonial game next weekend.

The young Belgian scored 15 goals Premier League goals whilst on-loan from Chelsea last season and Roberto Martinez is keen to bring him back to Goodison Park.

He told the ECHO: “We try not to (listen to rumours). But sometimes you cant help but hear the rumours about who the manager wants to bring in to the club.

“Rumours about Romelu and we’ve just signed Besic and rumours that there’s a couple more coming in.

“It would be good if they could play in my testimonial.

“Yes it would be good to have him back. We know the quality he’s got. There might be a bit more to do with that but I’m sure it’s close and he could play in the game.”

The 33-year-old will face Porto in his testimonial a week on Sunday at Goodison Park and he admits that the landmark has simply snuck up on him.

He said: “It’s a big achievement but we have a game to play beforehand so I can’t really just focus on my testimonial.

“It wasn’t something you think about (when you’re younger), you just want to break into the first team and then you start setting targets. 50 and then 100 games and so on and so forth.

“Then you know it sneaks up on you and you’re due a testimonial.”
